Del actor ganador del Premio de la Academia y autor del best seller Tipos singulares, llega una nueva novela sobre la realización de una película de acción de superhéroes multimillonaria repleta de estrellas... y de los humildes cómics que lo inspiraron.

Una novela divertida, conmovedora y maravillosamente estimulante, que captura al mismo tiempo los cambios en Estados Unidos y la cultura norteamericana desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

La primera parte de esta historia tiene lugar en 1947. Un soldado con problemas que regresa de la guerra se encuentra con su talentoso sobrino de cinco años, le deja una impresión indeleble y luego desaparece durante veintitrés años.

Corte a 1970: el sobrino, que ahora dibuja cómics clandestinos en Oakland, California, se reencuentra con su tío y, recordando el cómic que vio cuando tenía cinco años, dibuja una nueva versión con su tío como un héroe de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Corte al presente: un director de éxito comercial descubre el cómic de 1970 y decide convertirlo en una película de superhéroes contemporánea. Reparto: conocemos a la estrella masculina y extremadamente difícil de la película, su maravillosa protagonista, el excéntrico escritor/director, el productor, el asistente de producción del recadero y todos aquellos que están en ambos lados de la cámara.

Material extra: Intercalados a lo largo del realto hay tres cómics que aparecen en la historia, todos creados por el propio Tom Hanks, incluido el cómic que se convierte en el vínculo oficial con la "gran obra maestra cinematográfica" de esta novela.

Una historia tremendamente ambiciosa sobre la colosal realización de una película de acción de superhéroes, repleta de estrellas y multimillonaria, y sobre el humilde cómic que lo inspiró todo.

Abarcando 80 años de una América cambiante y culminando con la apertura de la película, nos encontramos con un colorido elenco de personajes que incluye un soldad con problemas que regresa de la guerra, un joven con un don artístico, un director inspirado y excéntrico, una pomposa estrella de cine en ascenso, una asistente de producción incansable e innumerables miembros del equipo de filmación que juntos crean la magia de Hollywood.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the legendary actor and best-selling author: a novel about the making of a star-studded, multimillion-dollar superhero action film...and the humble comic books that inspired it. Funny, touching, and wonderfully thought-provoking, while also capturing the changes in America and American culture since World War II.

"Wild, ambitious and exceptionally enjoyable." --Matt Haig, best-selling author The Midnight Library, The Humans and Reasons to Stay Alive

Part One of this story takes place in 1947. A troubled soldier, returning from the war, meets his talented five-year-old nephew, leaves an indelible impression, and then disappears for twenty-three years.

Cut to 1970: The nephew, now drawing underground comic books in Oakland, California, reconnects with his uncle and, remembering the comic book he saw when he was five, draws a new version with his uncle as a World War II fighting hero.

Cut to the present day: A commercially successful director discovers the 1970 comic book and decides to turn it into a contemporary superhero movie.

Cue the cast: We meet the film's extremely difficult male star, his wonderful leading lady, the eccentric writer/director, the producer, the gofer production assistant, and everyone else on both sides of the camera.

Bonus material: Interspersed throughout are three comic books that are featured in the story--all created by Tom Hanks himself--including the comic book that becomes the official tie-in to this novel's "major motion picture masterpiece."

Honestly, this is pretty nice!
Color: Black, Color: Black
At first I was a little disappointed in the design of this device because the mat and the charger are two separate pieces; but the magnet that is connecting them together is pretty strong, so I ended up not minding it. The magnet in the charger is pretty strong too, though, so the whole thing tends to lift up when you pick up your phone - this is my first MagSafe charger, so perhaps that is standard with these, I wouldn't know. As you can see in the picture, this isn't your standard mouse pad. It's leather on one side and felt on the other (you can pick which side you want to face up, which is a nice design feature, I suppose). It's smooth and wipes off easily but really collects fingerprints and hairs. It's also a good size. Not too big, not too small. I was a little worried because it's smaller than my older mousepad but I haven't suffered for it. I may even prefer this smaller size if I'm being honest. I'm not sure if I like the feeling of the leather side against my arm/wrist, though. The mouse has no problem reading it but it's just not very soft. I do notoriously dislike change though so maybe that's just a me problem LOL. All in all I'm happy with this and would suggest it!

Worth every penny!
Love this desk mat! Huge, sleek light-gray mat with built-in wireless charging. Fits my full keyboard, mouse, and phone perfectly. Super smooth for the mouse, stays put, and instantly made my desk look way cleaner. Great quality and worth every penny!

Still Usefil for a Samsung S24 Ultra User
Color: Black
The Charging Pad: The pad is super flat (nearly the same thickness as the pad) and looks nice next to it or a similar mouse and keyboard pad. It works perfectly for my Samsung S24 Ultra without a case on it, but having a 'magsafe' style case would improve the experience. You do have to take a second to get the alignment right. It uses USB-C instead of cheaping out with a micro, and the status light is helpful. I don't think I own anything that can charge in the headphone area, and in case you're wondering, neither spot will charge a Samsung smartwatch (as expected). I'd nearly recommend this just for the charging pad since it's so unobtrusive on the desk. Just remember you'll need to route that wire out of the top of it somewhere. The mouse pad: The size is probably perfect for a typical keyboard and mouse user. I always have a 3D mouse on the left, and an extra long Coursair keyboard, so I prefer having a gigantic mat for all of that. But there is one feature of this mouse pad that I like more than most. The material doesn't attract every spec of dirt and hair in the universe, and it's easy to wipe off. Because of this, I use the pad under my 3D mouse and keyboard, with a larger full-desk pad underneath (including the mouse area). The felt material on the back keeps this locked to my desk, and unlike a rubberized pad, isn't going to turn into glue after a few years. I did test my mouse on the pad, and it feels fairly good. It's not too smooth, and is a bit easier on your hand, but very serious gamers may take some time to adjust.
