• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Die seun staar met grootoog-wondering terwyl die sirkustente uit die mistige dagbreek opbloei soos reuse-sampioene wat lewe kry. Hy het sy voog se hand styf vasgehou, skaars glo hy is toegelaat om die vertoning by te woon. Ná soveel fluisterverhale van byvertoningsfreaks en doodsveragtende dade, sou hy uiteindelik die skouspel self sien.

Terwyl die son van die oggendmis afgebrand het, het 'n kaleidoskoop van besienswaardighede, geluide en reuke die seun se sintuie verblind. Gebrul het uit dierehokke gedreun terwyl verkopers gesing het oor versuikerde lekkernye. Gewaagde sirkusplakkate het vuurvreters, swaard-slukers, 'n wolfman, 'n bebaarde vrou, 'n skilpadseun en meer uitgebeeld. Watter vreemde wesens het hom binne die gestreepte groot top ingewag?

Die seun het onthou hoe sy skoolmaats met hom gespot het en hom 'n "freak" genoem het. Maar hier, kon die freaks openlik loop, sonder skaamte? Die idee het hom met ontsag vervul.

'n Growwe stem het sy mymeringe onderbreek dit was tyd vir die vertoning om te begin. Die seun stap haastig binne en hou sy kaartjiestompie soos 'n goue kaartjie vas. Die tentflappe het fluisterend agter hom toe gevee, en die ligte verdof...

Terwyl voorgevoelende orrelnote deur die swaar lug gesluip het, het die ringmeester in die kollig ingestap, sy sweep geknak en uitgeroep: "Dames en here, welkom by die grootste vertoning op aarde!"

Autorenporträt

Francisco Angulo Madrid, 1976

Enthusiast of fantasy cinema and literature and a lifelong fan of Isaac Asimov and Stephen King, Angulo starts his literary career by submitting short stories to different contests. At 17 he finishes his first book - a collection of poems - and tries to publish it. Far from feeling intimidated by the discouraging responses from publishers, he decides to push ahead and tries even harder.

In 2006 he published his first novel "The Relic", a science fiction tale that was received with very positive reviews. In 2008 he presented "Ecofa" an essay on biofuels, whereAngulorecounts his experiences in the research project he works on. In 2009 he published "Kira and the Ice Storm".A difficultbut very productive year, in2010 he completed "Eco-fuel-FA",a science book in English. He also worked on several literary projects: "The Best of 2009-2010", "The Legend of Tarazashi 2009-2010", "The Sniffer 2010", "Destination Havana 2010-2011" and "Company No.12".

He currently works as director of research at the Ecofa project. Angulo is the developer of the first 2nd generation biofuel obtained from organic waste fed bacteria. He specialises in environmental issues and science-fiction novels.

His expertise in the scientific field is reflected in the innovations and technological advances he talks about in his books, almost prophesying what lies ahead, as Jules Verne didin his time.
