«Sueños de trenes» is the historical novel by Denis Johnson, published by Random House in paperback with flaps (144 pages, in Spanish).
«Sueños de trenes» follows Robert Grainier, a laborer of the American West at the beginning of the 20th century. After a tragedy strikes him, he tries to find new meaning in his life in a world in constant transformation; his modest and ordinary existence crosses an extraordinary era.
The novel, whose original title is «Train Dreams» (2002), was translated into Spanish by Javier Calvo Perales and nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 2012.
This novel is suitable for readers of literary, historical or Western fiction, as well as for book clubs looking for short works.
