The time keeper

From the author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most imaginative novel yet, The Time Keeper--a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours. The man who became Father Time. In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time. He returns to our world--now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently began--and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so. Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly is.

  • ""Hubo una época en que el tiempo no tenía nombre. Porque nadie lo contaba. Hasta que Dor empezó a hacerlo, y todo cambió para el mundo. Y para él también: su castigo por querer medir el tiempo fue el destierro. Pero Dor tiene ahora una oportunidad para redimirse: se ha convertido en el guardián del tiempo. Armado de un reloj de arena mágico, debe enseñar el significado y valor del tiempo a dos personas: una muchacha que quiere dejar de vivir y un empresario que quiere vivir para siempre. Para salvarse, Dor deberá salvarlos a ambos."--P. [4] of cover."

  • "Spróbujcie wyobrazić sobie życie bez odmierzania czasu. Pewnie nie potraficie. Zawsze wiecie, jaki jest miesiąc, rok, dzień tygodnia. A jednak przyroda nigdy nie zwraca uwagi na czas. Ptaki się nie spóźniają. Pies nie patrzy na zegarek. Sarny nie martwią się kolejnymi urodzinami. Tylko człowiek odmierza czas. Tylko człowiek odlicza godziny. I właśnie dlatego jedynie człowiek doświadcza paraliżującego strachu, którego nie zniosłoby żadne inne stworzenie. Strachu przed tym, że zabraknie mu czasu."
  • "Was geschieht, wenn die Welt für einen Augenblick zum Stillstand kommt? Lange vor unserer Zeit entdeckte Dor, der sich von Kindheit an für Zahlen interessierte, eine Möglichkeit, Stunden zu zählen - und erfand damit die erste Uhr der Welt. Als Strafe dafür, dass er sich herausnahm, Gottes grösstes Geschenk - die Zeit - messen zu wollen, wurde er in eine Höhle verbannt, wo er fortan den Stimmen lauschen musste, die nach mehr Zeit verlangten. Nach einer kleinen Ewigkeit wird Dor nun befreit, doch er hat eine letzte Mission: Dor soll zwei Menschen unserer Gegenwart die wahre Bedeutung von Zeit lehren. Und so bringt er schliesslich für einen Augenblick die Welt zum Stillstand ... Mitch Albom begeisterte mit seinen Büchern "Dienstags bei Morrie" und "Die fünf Menschen, die dir im Himmel begegnen" weltweit unzählige Leserinnen und Leser. Seine Bücher wurden in 36 Sprachen übersetzt und waren Nummer-1-Bestseller. Er lebt mit seiner Frau Janine in Detroit."
