Cuando yo regrese a este mundo voy a volver como un hombre, y voy a caminar entre vosotros. Voy a estrechar vuestras manos.

Aneb jak jsem byl psem. Nenechte se překvapit okolností, kdo je vypravěčem tohoto románu. Je jím totiž pes. Jmenuje se Enzo a je to nesmírně bystrý a inteligentní pozorovatel. Především díky svému vnímavému pánovi, Dennymu Swiftovi, kterého bezvýhradně miluje. A taky se mu snaží všemožně pomáhat. Ostatně má s čím. Denny je totiž automobilový závodník, a ne ledajaký! Ovšem závodění se nestalo alfou a omegou jeho života. Daleko víc mu záleží na jeho tříleté dceři Zoë. Musí o ni bojovat s rodiči své předčasně zesnulé ženy, kteří si malou Zoë chtějí ponechat u sebe. Uspěje Denny nakonec? Získá zpět svou dceru? Stane se automobilovým šampionem? Jeho věrný pes Enzo na to každopádně vynaloží všechny své schopnosti. „Psí perspektiva“ tomuto románu vtiskuje neobyčejné kouzlo, které si vás jistě podmaní.

Der Roman "Im Licht des Augenblicks" von Garth Stein erzählt eine poetische, atmosphärische und tiefgründige Familiengeschichte aus dem Nordwesten der USA. Der 14-jährige Trevor besucht mit seinem Vater das heruntergekommene Familien-Anwesen in der Nähe von Seattle, in dem sein Großvater und seine Tante wohnen. Trevor stöbert durch längst verlassene Zimmer, in Geheimgänge hinter Tapetentüren, immer auf der Suche nach Antworten, vor denen die Erwachsenen zurückscheuen: Warum verletzt man immer wieder die, die man am meisten liebt? Wie kann man Schuld wiedergutmachen? Wie schwer wiegt ein Geheimnis, das man anderen vorenthalten hat? Seit Generationen scheint ein Fluch auf Trevors Familie zu lasten. Doch nun macht sich der gewitzte Trevor auf, die Wahrheit zu entdecken und auszusprechen. "Ich habe "Im Licht des Augenblicks" verschlungen. Ein großes, wunderbares, Generationen umspannendes Epos, das im Nordwesten der USA spielt. Garth Stein hat uns erneut einen einzigartigen, gefühlvollen Erzähler für die Ewigkeit geschenkt, der uns in eine Geschichte voller Geheimnisse und Sehnsüchte mitnimmt." (Maria Semple, Autorin von "Wo steckst du, Bernadette?")

Enzo, the lovable mutt from Garth Stein’s New York Times bestselling novel The Art of Racing in the Rain, experiences his first Halloween with friends Denny and Zoë in his third (not so) very scary picture book. When Halloween comes around, Enzo doesn’t know what to expect. Jack-o’-lanterns light up the streets, giant spiders weave webs on porches, and ordinary lawns become creepy graveyards while every child and dog transforms into a creature of some kind—including Enzo! Enzo the dragon is determined to protect fairy princess Zoë from the monsters and goblins in their neighborhood, but when things get a little too scary, his family is there to reassure him that everything is make-believe and only meant to be fun—just like the wonderful trick-or-treat parade that ends this spook-tastic night! R. W. Alley’s fantastic illustrations bring Enzo to life as he discovers the frightful fun of Halloween.

A arte de correr na chuva é uma deliciosa história que capta as maravilhas e absurdos da vida. O livro que inspirou o filme Meu amigo Enzo. Enzo sabe que é um cachorro diferente. Quase humano, passa horas filosofando e é obcecado com televisão: aprende tudo por lá. Além disso, presta muita atenção nas palavras de seu mestre, Denny Swift, um piloto de corridas. Enzo aprendeu muito sobre o que significa ser um humano com Denny. A vida, assim como a corrida, não é apenas sobre a chegada. As técnicas para a pista podem ser aplicadas a todas as etapas da vida. Agora, prestes a morrer, Enzo reflete sobre tudo pelo qual já passou com sua família humana. Os sacrifícios que Denny fez para ser bem-sucedido, mesmo após a morte de sua esposa, Eve; assim como as dificuldades em ser pai de Zoë. Apesar de estar ciente de suas limitações, Enzo ainda consegue ser o herói da família Swift. Uma história comovente sobre lealdade, esperança, família e amor.

The unforgettable dog Enzo, first introduced in the New York Times bestselling novel The Art of Racing in the Rain, helps his family, Denny and Zoë, find the perfect Christmas tree in this heartwarming holiday tale. Author Garth Stein tells this touching story about the true spirit of Christmas in this second Enzo picture book. Fans of A Very Marley Christmas by John Grogan and Charlie and the Christmas Kitty by Ree Drummond will delight in Enzo''s wise personality and funny antics. The family heads off to the tree farm, filled with noble firs, cider, and Newfoundlands—the biggest dogs Enzo has ever seen, who help haul the Christmas trees away on sleds. But as Zoë and Enzo search for the ultimate tree, the snow begins to fall and Zoë loses her way. When Enzo comes to her rescue (with a few of his perfect puppy howls), he proves that family is never far behind. R. W. Alley''s fantastic illustrations bring the beloved Enzo to life with lots of Christmas cheer.

"In the summer of 1990, 14-year-old Trevor Riddell gets his first glimpse of Riddell House. Built from the spoils of a massive timber fortune, the legendary family mansion is constructed of giant, whole trees, and is set on a huge estate overlooking Puget Sound. Trevor''s bankrupt parents have begun a trial separation, and his father, Jones Riddell, has brought Trevor to Riddell House for the summer with a goal: he will join forces with his sister, Serena, to dispatch Grandpa Samuel--who is flickering in and out of dementia--to a graduated living facility, sell off the house and property for development into "tract housing for millionaires," divide up the profits, and live happily ever after. But Trevor soon discovers there''s someone else living in Riddell House: a ghost with an agenda of his own. For while the land holds tremendous value, it is also burdened by the final wishes of the family patriarch, Elijah, that it be allowed to return to untamed forestland as a penance for the millions of trees harvested over the decades by Riddell Timber. As he uncovers secrets of his family''s past that are hidden deep within the house, guided by the whisperings of the ghost, Trevor discovers a legacy of family trauma and terrible guilt. The ghost will not rest until Elijah''s wish is fulfilled, and Trevor''s willingness to face the past holds the key to his family''s future"-- Provided by publisher.

Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening very closely to the words of his master, Denny Swift, an up-and-coming race car driver. Through Denny, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition, and he sees that life, like racing, isn''t simply about going fast. Using the techniques needed on the race track, one can successfully navigate all of life''s ordeals. On the eve of his death, Enzo takes stock of his life, recalling all that he and his family have been through: the sacrifices Denny has made to succeed professionally; the unexpected loss of Eve, Denny''s wife; the three-year battle over their daughter, ZoË, whose maternal grandparents pulled every string to gain custody. In the end, despite what he sees as his own limitations, Enzo comes through heroically to preserve the Swift family, holding in his heart the dream that Denny will become a racing champion with ZoË at his side. Having learned what it takes to be a compassionate and successful person, the wise canine can barely wait until his next lifetime, when he is sure he will return as a man. A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope, The Art of Racing in the Rain is a beautifully crafted and captivating look at the wonders and absurdities of human life . . . as only a dog could tell it.
