Synopsis "Us Against you Nosotros Contra Todos (Spanish Edition) (Ciudad del oso (in Spanish)"

Alguna vez has visto a un pueblo derrumbarse? El nuestro lo hizo. Alguna vez ha viso a un pueblo levantarse? El nuestro lo hizo, también. Una pequeña comunidad ubicada en los más profundo del bosque, Beartown es el hogar de gente dura, trabajadora, que no esperan que la vida sea fácil o justa. Sin importar la dificultad del momento, ellos siempre se han sentido orgullosos de su equipo local de hockey sobre hielo. Por eso, cuando se enteran de que el equipo de Beartown pronto podría desintegrarse, la noticia los golpea con crueldad. Lo que empeora las cosas es la satisfacción obvia de todos jugadores anteriores de Beartwon (que ahora juegan en el equipo rival del pueblo vecino de Hed) ante la noticia. Mientras crece la tensión entre los dos adversarios, un recién llegado le da al equipo de Beartown un nuevo entrenador y una oportunidad de volver a jugar.Pronto, el equipo empieza a tomar forma alrededor de Amat, el jugador más rápido que se haya visto; Benji, el intenso lobo solitario; el solícito y complaciente Bobo; y Vidar, el problemático nacido para ser un mal muchacho. Pero unir a este grupo resulta un reto, ya que los lazos que los unían se han roto, se tienen que crear nuevos vínculos y la enemistad del pueblo con Hed se hace más y más intensa. Mientras el gran partido se acerca, se van acumulando las no tan inocentes bromas e incidentes entre las comunidades, y el desprecio mutuo se intensifica. Para cuando el último gol entre en la portería, un residente de Beartwon estará muerto, y la gente de ambos pueblos se verá forzada a preguntarse si, después de todo, el deporte que aman puede algún día volver a ser tan simple e inocente como una pista de hielo, dos redes y dos equipos. Nosotros contra ustedes. He aquí una declaración de amor por todas las historias, grandes y pequeñas, luminosas y oscuras, que dan forma y color a nuestras comunidades. Have you ever seen a town fall? Ours did.Have you ever seen a town rise? Ours did that, too.A small community tucked deep in the forest, Beartown is home to tough, hardworking people who don't expect life to be easy or fair. No matter how difficult times get, they've always been able to take pride in their local ice hockey team. So it's a cruel blow when they hear that Beartown ice hockey might soon be disbanded. What makes it worse is the obvious satisfaction that all the former Beartown players, who now play for a rival team in the neighboring town of Hed, take in that fact. As the tension mounts between the two adversaries, a newcomer arrives who gives Beartown hockey a surprising new coach and a chance at a comeback.Soon a team starts to take shape around Amat, the fastest player you'll ever see; Benji, the intense lone wolf; always dutiful and eager-to-please Bobo; and Vidar, a born-to-be-bad troublemaker. But bringing this team together proves to be a challenge as old bonds are broken, new ones are formed, and the town's enmity with Hed grows more and more acute.As the big game approaches, the not-so-innocent pranks and incidents between the communities pile up and their mutual contempt intensifies. By the time the last goal is scored, a resident of Beartown will be dead, and the people of both towns will be forced to wonder if, after everything, the game they love can ever return to something as simple and innocent as a field of ice, two nets, and two teams. Us against you.Here is a declaration of love for all the big and small, bright and dark stories that give form and color to our communities. With immense compassion and insight, Fredrik Backman--"the Dickens of our age" (Green Valley News)--reveals how loyalty, friendship, and kindness can carry a town through its most challenging days.

Fredrik Backman is a Swedish writer internationally recognized for his novels full of humanity, humor, and emotion. Born on June 2, 1981, in Stockholm, Sweden, Backman has captivated readers around the world with stories that explore the complexities of everyday life, human relationships, and the search for meaning in an often chaotic world.

Backman's literary journey began with his work as a columnist and blogger, where his approachable and reflective style already resonated with his readers. His rise to fame came in 2012 with his debut novel, A Man Called Ove, which quickly became a literary phenomenon. The story of Ove, a grumpy widower with a big heart, has been translated into more than 40 languages and adapted into film several times, including the movie A Man Called Otto (2022), starring Tom Hanks.

Since then, Fredrik Backman has solidified his reputation as one of the most talented storytellers of his generation with works like My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry (2013), Britt-Marie Was Here (2014), and Beartown (2017). His ability to address universal themes such as grief, loneliness, love, and belonging has made him an essential author for those seeking moving and meaningful reads.

In 2017, Backman published Anxious People, a dramatic comedy that explores the lives of a group of strangers caught in a peculiar incident. This novel, acclaimed by critics and readers alike, was adapted into a Netflix miniseries, further consolidating his influence in global literature and entertainment.
