Una adolescente muy particular vive su primer amor y descubre, tras la agitación del corazón, las dificultades de convertirse en adulta.


«Los personajes de Yoshimoto ejercen una absoluta fascinación sobre mí ... A pesar de sus desgracias, tienen una capacidad infinita para degustar las cosas de la vida que hacen la vida vivible, y una extraña dignidad, imposible de doblegar.» Isabel Coixet, El Dominical


«La prosa de Yoshimoto se apoya en la calidad de su transparencia... Un retrato esencial de la soledad.» Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/S (La Vanguardia)


«Yoshimoto describe como nadie esos estados físicos y emocionales que tanto tienen que ver con el silencio.» The New York Times Book Review


«Sus logros literarios ya son legendarios.» The Boston Globe


«Una narradora magistral.» Chicago Tribune


Yuko tiene una sensibilidad poco común: es capaz de ver cosas que otros no pueden ver, y también de adivinar los deseos y pensamientos de quienes la rodean. Cuando cumple catorce años, esa sensibilidad se agudiza y todo parece adquirir matices misteriosos. En una academia de pintura, Yuko está aprendiendo a asignar un color a cada estado de ánimo y emoción; Kyu, su profesor, mayor que ella, le enseña. Y, cierto día, sólo él verá, al igual que ella, cómo un extraño hombrecito verde emerge del tallo de una planta que hay en el aula. Así comienzan lo que serán unos meses cruciales para la joven adolescente, quien, suspendida entre lo real y lo imaginario, afronta el día a día y descubre poco a poco la agitación del corazón, la ternura de los sentimientos y las dificultades de convertirse en adulta.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A very unique teenager experiences her first love and discovers, through the turmoil of the heart, the challenges of becoming an adult.


"Yoshimoto's characters exert an absolute fascination over me ... Despite their misfortunes, they have an infinite capacity to savor the things in life that make it livable, and a strange dignity, impossible to break." Isabel Coixet, El Dominical


"Yoshimoto's prose relies on the quality of its transparency... An essential portrait of loneliness." Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/S (La Vanguardia)


"Yoshimoto describes like no one else those physical and emotional states so closely tied to silence." The New York Times Book Review


"Her literary achievements are already legendary." The Boston Globe


"A masterful storyteller." Chicago Tribune


Yuko has an uncommon sensitivity: she can see things others cannot, and even sense the desires and thoughts of those around her. When she turns fourteen, that sensitivity intensifies and everything seems to take on mysterious shades. At a painting academy, Yuko is learning to assign a color to each mood and emotion; Kyu, her teacher, older than her, guides her. And one day, only he will see, just as she does, how a strange little green man emerges from the stem of a plant in the classroom. Thus begin what will be crucial months for the young teenager, who, suspended between the real and the imaginary, faces daily life and gradually discovers the turmoil of the heart, the tenderness of feelings, and the challenges of becoming an adult.

Fun, engaging dog toy that keeps pets entertained, but battery life could be better
Color: Blue
I’ve been using the ITEHZTO Interactive Dog Ball Automatic Dog Toy for my dog, and overall it’s been a great way to keep him active and engaged, especially when I’m busy or not able to play fetch. The different play modes are a nice feature, and the unpredictable movement really grabs his attention. It does a good job of encouraging exercise and mental stimulation. The USB-C charging is convenient, and I appreciate not having to mess with batteries. The size is also good for small to medium dogs, and it feels durable enough to handle regular play. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the battery life doesn’t last as long as I expected, especially when using the more active modes. Also, on harder flooring it can be a bit noisy as it bounces around. Overall, it’s a fun and useful interactive toy that my dog genuinely enjoys. With slightly longer battery life and quieter operation, it would easily be a 5-star product.

Great stimulation for a 'busy' pup
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
I’ll admit I was a little skeptical since my German Shepherd is well over the recommended weight limit for this ball, but it’s been a huge hit. Even though it’s technically for smaller breeds, it has held up remarkably well so far. I’ve mostly kept it on the gentle mode, and that’s more than enough to grab her attention and keep her occupied for quite a while. The design is actually much tougher than the warnings suggest; the two halves screw together so securely that she hasn't been able to pry it open, which is impressive for a tough chewer. It’s been a great way to keep her mentally engaged indoors without worrying about the toy falling apart immediately.

Recommended for Small, Mellower Dogs, not the destructive, chewy kind
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My dog loved this ball, maybe a little too much. He attacked it like it was a wild animal and left teeth marks and tears in the outer plastic. I decided to give it to my cats instead, who initially were very intrigued by it. The buff kitty even chirped to see it. He would roll around with it as it vibrated and hopped, but after a while he wasn’t that interested. I think I can get them to play with it if I don’t use it with them every day, maybe wait a few weeks between playtimes. Perhaps it is a little too large for cats. My dog, who is less than 30 lbs., might be too big for it, or maybe just his mouth is, or maybe because he’s a Boston Terrier and he always feels like it’s his duty to destroy all toys (all my Bostons were like that). But I don’t think I will let him have it again. Maybe a toy breed or puppy might be more of the appropriate size for this ball. Or someone who isn’t as destructive. The instructions are almost unreadable because the text is so small. I couldn’t understand what I was supposed to do with the “installation process.” I did figure out how to turn it on and off by myself, however. There are four modes when it is on: gentle, normal, active, and lighting only (no vibration). As a human, it is a fun thing to watch, even if it is just for the light show.
