The Many Worlds of Albie Bright

Product Information

Personajele din "Calatoria lui Albie Bright" sunt bine creionate, iar Albie este un protagonist inteligent, bun la suflet, iar inocența sa nu are cum să nu îți atingă sufletul. Christopher Edge introduces readers to ten-year-old Stephen Albie Bright, the son of two high-profile scientists. But when his mom dies, Stephen goes on a journey to find his mother in a parallel universe. What follows, is an important journey about learning how circumstances can shape a person, what it means to look beyond surface appearances, and how it's important to keep moving forward.

Nun kann mir als alten Trekkie nun wirklich keiner was bei Wurmlöchern vormachen (und da ist es wieder, das Nerd-Herz ... ) , aber die Sache mit der Quantenmechanik und Schrödingers Katzehat mein Hirn dann doch richtig rauchen lassen. Und so richtig zufriedenstellend hat mir Christpher Edge das auch nicht erklärt … Schade. Denn das ist ja DAS zentrale Thema. Antrą kartą romanas skaitytas su dvylikamečiu – nustebino, kad Šriodinegrio katino ir paralelinių visatų teorija jam nebuvo naujiena. Apie fiziką nedaug ką išmokome, tačiau buvo proga pakalbėti apie gedulo etapus. Tikėjausi knygos paaugliams apie kvantine fiziką, tačiau gavau šiek tiek didaktinį romaną, kaip susitaikyti su artimojo netektimi. Knygoje aiškiai išvardinti 5 gedulo etapai (neigimas, pyktis, derybos, depresija, priėmimas), pabaigoje Albis susitaiko, kad mama mirusi, o kvantinės teorijos "aiškinimas" susiveda į bananą ir kaimynų katiną.

The Many Worlds of Albie Bright

A big book with a big brain, big laughs, and a big, big heart." --FRANK COTTRELL BOYCE, New York Times bestselling author of Millions and Cosmic It’s been a few weeks since Albie’s scientist mum died. When dad tries to explain death to the intelligent Albie, he uses parallel universes and the way they work, as an example. He explains how things that happen in one universe don’t happen in another. This awakens in Albie the possibility of utilising this information to find his mum.

Bei Albie Bright – ein Universum ist nicht genug habe ich den Klappentext hinterher erst gelesen, da ich vom Inhalt des Buches doch sehr überrascht war. Das hätte ich nicht bei dem Cover und der Werbung erwartet. Albie has lost his mother but something his dad says sends him into an adventure—in some parallel universe his mother is still alive, and he's set on finding. With a few adaptations, he creates a machine that creates the paradox he needs to open the door to the other lives he might have had.His attempt to resolve his feelings of grief and loss puts Albie in strange, mind-blowing situations, and simultaneously incredible, hysterically funny adventures. Christopher Edge’s ability to string so many synchronised mishaps into one lucid paragraph is amazing. Albie’s parents are scientists and usually have all the answers. But after Albie’s mother dies the answers seem to dry up. When Albie’s dad mentions quantum physics and that numerous versions of ourselves can exist in parallel universes, Albie sets out to find the universe where his mum is still alive. Behold the Quantum Banana Theory - a cardboard box, a banana (that is ever so slightly radioactive), mum’s old laptop and a Geiger counter. Oh, and let me not forgot a test subject - Dylan, the next door neighbours psychopathic cat. Albie embarks on journeys to several parallel universes and along the way he meets bad Albie and female Albie (Alba) along with different versions of the the most popular girl in school, Victoria Barnes. Of course, when you’re universe-hopping for the very first time, it’s difficult to find the one you want. As Albie searches, he discovers some pretty big surprises about himself and our universe(s), and stumbles upon the answers to life’s most challenging questions.

Pe lângă aspectele științifice, romanul "Calatoria lui Albie Bright" abordează și teme importante precum prietenia şi familia. When Albie’s mum dies, it’s natural he should ask where she’s gone. His parents are both scientists and they usually have all the answers. Dad mutters something about quantum physics and parallel universes, so Albie gets a box, a laptop and a rotting banana, and sends himself through time and space in search of his mum. What he finds may or may not be what he’s looking for, but he does learn the answers to some big questions. But then Albie’s mother dies of cancer, and his world is shattered. When his father explains that she might be alive in a parallel universe, Albie knows he has to find her. So, armed with a box, a laptop, and a banana, Albie sets out to do just that. The final thing that I want to say is that the writer have really gotten into your heart when the mum dies because he wants you to be sharing Albie’s sadness. Talked about the Dutch edition, the translation is done really well, with extra attention to the correct choice of words. So, you don’t have to worry about the quality of the translation.

How To Write Your Best Story Ever!

But outside of Albie's own journey, Edge is careful to use others to emphasize the powerful that comes with moving on. There's an understandable emphasis on just how challenging that process is, but it's a necessity to continue living and bringing creativity into the world. This is especially effectively in one of the universes, where the fate of the world is an uncertain one, but that act of moving on helps open the door to something that may change that very fate. Pirmas sakinys: Tai mano tėtis pakišo mintį pasinaudoti kvantine fizika tam, kad rasčiau savo mamą. The Many Worlds of Albie Bright is a sci-fi middle grade that focuses on Albie Bright. Both his parents are scientists so of course he is named after a familiar scientist, Albert Einstein. Growing up with science he is used to questioning the world around him. When his mother dies of cancer it is only natural for him to question where she went. The mutterings of his father about parallel universes leads to a very unique experiment that includes a rotten banana, his mom’s computer, a box and the neighbor’s cat.
