Dioses antiguos, heroes mitologicos y figuras legendarias se dan cita en la obra narrativa mas importante del extraordinario Neil Gaiman.
Dias antes de salir de prision, la mujer de Sombra, Laura, muere en un misterioso accidente de coche. Aturdido por el dolor, emprende el regreso a casa. En el avion, se encontrara con el enigmatico senor Miercoles, que dice ser un refugiado de una guerra antigua, un dios y tambien el rey de America.
Juntos se embarcan en un viaje extrano a traves de los Estados Unidos, mientras una tormenta de dimensiones epicas amenaza con desencadenarse.
Poco a poco descubriremos que Miercoles es una encarnacion de Odin y que esta reclutando viejos dioses, cuyos poderes han disminuido por el tiempo y la falta de creyentes, para participar en una guerra contra los nuevos dioses: aquellos que conforman la tecnologia moderna.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, a contemporary masterpiece combing mythology, adventure, and illusion one of ten classic Gaiman works repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry Sene Yee
Released from prison, Shadow finds his world turned upside down. His wife has been killed; a stranger offers him a job and Shadow, with nothing to lose, accepts. But a storm is coming. Beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a war is being fought - and the prize is the very soul of America.
An inspired combination of mythology, adventure, and illusion, American Gods is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. It is, quite simply, a contemporary masterpiece.
