Reseña del libro "Words Come Alive (en Inglés)"
What if words, vehicles for thoughts and feelings, the lifeforce of language, assumed a life of their own? And what if an office ruled by a forbidding boss, governed by rigid rules, populated with slavish employees, begins to acquire a new character owing to the intervention of words? The characters embodying words both interfere in human affairs as well as set things right when the chips are down. Divya, a manipulative businesswoman, keeps all her workers on a tight leash. She makes grand promises to her clients-promises that are never kept. She is adept at weaving traps with words. Despite consistently failing to deliver, she is able to keep her business running by ensnaring businessmen and businesswomen looking for assistance in reviving their enterprise. Divya presents herself as an expert in rescuing failing businesses but terrifying and controlling people seems to be her real forte. In the parallel universe of words, Cheeky Curiosity worms her way into the minds of all employees, edging out Fear, Caution and Discretion. Overpowered by Curiosity, the employees are emboldened to speak their minds, losing their fear of the boss. It takes a long time for Love to make its presence felt in this desolate workplace, but when it comes, in all its vitality, it spreads its fragrance to soften the hardness built into the very texture of this workplace. With characteristic glibness, Hate holds forth on human nature, the fragility of emotional bonds, and the proclivity of humans to spell their own doom by their tragic gullibility and legendary stupidity. Love banishes the darkness of Hate and Tyranny, allowing a heavenly light to transform this horrific workplace. Ultimately, Divya sheds her ego and armour, turning into a vision of loveliness. Written with sparkling wit, delectably wicked humour and a dash of the absurd, Words Come Alive is a darkly comic fantasy that will make you laugh. It will make you think. It will keep you engrossed with its gravity and insanity, absurdity and hilarity.
