La luz que no puedes ver [audio-enabled device] Anthony Doerr

Summary:

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel.In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure's converge.
Un corazon puro puede brillar aun en la noche mas oscura. Y en el mas terrible de los tiempos. Marie-Laure vive con su padre en Paris, cerca del Museo de Historia Natural, donde el trabaja como responsable de sus mil cerraduras. Cuando, siendo muy nina, Marie-Laure se queda ciega, su padre le construye una perfecta miniatura de su barrio para que pueda memorizarla gracias al tacto y encontrar el camino a casa. A sus doce anos, los nazis ocupan Paris y padre e hija tienen que huir a la ciudad amurallada de Saint-Malo. Con ellos se llevan la que podria ser la mas preciada y peligrosa joya del museo. En una ciudad minera de Alemania, el joven huerfano Werner crece junto a su hermana pequena, cautivado por una rudimentaria radio que ambos encuentran. Werner se convierte en un experto en construir y reparar estos aparatos cruciales para los nuevos tiempos, un talento que no pasa desapercibido a las Juventudes Hitlerianas. Siguiendo al ejercito aleman, Werner debera atravesar el corazon en guerra de Europa. Hasta que en la ultima noche antes de la liberacion de Saint-Malo los caminos de Werner y Marie-Laure por fin se crucen. Y sus vidas cambien para siempre
