O humor negro e o universo mágico tornaram os romances de Kurt Vonnegut verdadeiros clássicos modernos — são livros que vendem aos milhares no mundo inteiro, entra ano sai ano.
Galápagos, seu mais recente best-seller, é uma crônica demolidora que retrocede no tempo em um milhão de anos e chega ao ano de 1986, quando foram plantadas as sementes da nova espécie humana.
Graças à guerra, loucura, fome e publicidade, dez desafortunados passageiros do “Cruzeiro Natural do Século” naufragam e encalham numa ilha distante e paradisíaca, em pleno arquipélago de Galápagos. Esperando pacientemente por um socorro que jamais chegará, nem desconfiam que, por um estranho processo de seleção da espécie, foram escolhidos para salvar a humanidade da extinção.
Galápagos é, sem dúvida, um hilariante e apaixonado olhar de Vonnegut à posteridade do ser humano. Desde o início de sua carreira como romancista, Vonnegut tem se preocupado profundamente com a maneira que a raça humana escolheu para conduzir-se e com os preços que temos pago em termos de desilusão e perda de fé, alcançando os mais altos índices na escalada da crueldade nessa trajetória.
