Amazon.com description: Product Description: Thrown together for three days on the paradise island of Taveuni, a lonely Norwegian biologist, a bereaved English novelist, and a strange and beautiful Spanish couple, fill the long nights by playing bridge, telling stories, and discussing ideas. This brief encounter is the start of an intertwined story, full of illusion and allusion, which will unfold many months later. Part tragedy, part mystery, and, above all, a love story, Maya debates and unravels the questions that give meaning to the lives of its characters. Description in Spanish: Jostein Gaarder seduce con una novela de suspense donde mezcla ciencia, filosofia, historia y amor. Desde distintos escenarios, como el ultimo reducto ecologico de las islas Fidji o una España de arte y flamenco, los personajes disertan sobre la teoria de la evolucion del hombre a partir del Big Bang, se sumergen en hipotesis sobre la relatividad de Tiempo y la finalidad del Universo y nos descubren el concepto hindu de Maya para explicar la vision que tiene el hombre de la realidad.
