The Shape of Water

Resumen del libro

Visionary storyteller Guillermo del Toro and celebrated author Daniel Kraus combine their estimable talent in this haunting, heartbreaking love story.

The Shape of Water is set in Cold War-era Baltimore at the Occam Aerospace Research Center, which has recently received its most sensitive asset ever: an amphibious man captured in the Amazon. What unfolds is a stirring romance between the asset and one of the janitors on staff, a mute woman who uses sign language to communicate with the creature.

Developed from the ground up as a bold two-tiered release one story interpreted by two artists in the independent mediums of literature and film The Shape of Water weaves together fantasy, horror, and romance to create a tale that is equally gripping on the page and on the big screen.

Biografía del autor

El mexicano Guillermo del Toro es uno de los realizadores con mayor proyección internacional. Un cineasta original, inventor de ambientaciones cargadas de simbolismo, donde transcurren historias protagonizadas por personajes a medio camino entre lo real y lo irreal. Ha dirigido, entre otras, El espinazo del diablo (2001), El laberinto del Fauno (ganador, en 2007, del Goya al mejor guión original), Hellboy (2004) y Hellboy II (2008); ha producido El orfanato. El mundo del cómic, los monstruos y los personajes fantásticos son referencias estéticas inconfundibles de este autor.
