Viajes y experiencias

michael crichton

Este libro de marcado acento autobiográfico relata la singular educación espiritual de Michael Crichton, un hombre que se formó a sí mismo a través de experiencias tan apasionantes como las que describe en sus obras de ficción.

Tras estudiar medicina y decepcionado de la profesión médica, Crichton se dedicó a su verdadera vocación: el cine y la literatura. Vivió una temporada en Hollywood, pero su curiosidad innata le llevó a conocer culturas y lugares exóticos, entre ellos, Nueva Guinea, el Kilimanjaro, la selva africana y el desierto americano. A lo largo de estos itinerarios participó en sorprendentes experiencias que le revelaron facetas insólitas de la realidad: viajes astrales, percepción extrasensorial, telekinesia...

Divertido, lúcido y cautivador, Viajes amalgama la aventura con el conocimiento y depara una lectura vibrante. Y no es para menos, pues se trata del autorretrato de un hombre fascinado por las infinitas posibilidades del ser humano y por la desconcertante variedad de experiencias que ofrece el mundo.
