Cielo de octubre (Rocket Boys) Audiobook Summary
Las memorias best seller que inspiraron la pelicula Cielo de Octubre, Rocket Boys es una autobiografia poderosa y una historia luminosa de la vida en la decada de 1960, del amor de una madre y del temor de un padre, de un grupo de jovenes que sonaban con lanzar cohetes al espacio… y de hacer realidad los suenos.
Asi comienza la maravillosamente entretenida y extraordinaria autobiografia de la vida de <
Pero en 1957, luego de haber visto el satelite sovietico Sputnik cruzar el cielo de los Apalaches, Sonny y sus amigos adolescentes tomaron el futuro en sus manos, cambiando sus vidas y su ciudad para siempre. Recordando una carrera distinguida en la NASA que hizo realidad los suenos de su ninez, Hickam relata la historia de su juventud, llevando a los lectores a la vida de aquel pueblo minero y las de los muchachos que encarnaron sus tensiones y sus suenos. Con la ayuda –y en ocasiones los obstaculos– de los habitantes de Coalwood, los jovenes aprendieron no solo a convertir escombros de mineria en cohetes que surcaban los cielos, sino que encontraron esperanza en una ciudad en la que el progreso pasaba desapercibido.
Una autobiografia unica, Cielo de octubre es a la vez una cronica inspiradora de triunfo y una historia luminosa del amor de una madre, los temores de un padre y la vida de un joven. Con la sencilla gracia de un narrador por naturaleza, Homer Hickam capta a la perfeccion un momento en el cual un pueblo agonizante, una familia dividida y una banda de adolescents sonadores se atrevieron a mirar mas alla de sus diferencias y a fijar sus objetivos en las estrellas… y vieron un futuro que la nacion estaba apenas empezando a imaginar.
