UN MENSAJERO EN LA NOCHE (Spanish Edition) [Paperback]

MARIA VALLEJO-NAGERA (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 15, 2010

Pocos anos atras, en una prision de Inglaterra, Albert Michael Wensbourgh, un recluso muy violento, se convirtio repentinamente en un hombre de extrema bondad. Que sucedio para que se operara tal cambio de personalidad? Interrogado, Wensbourgh conto que un angel era el artifice de tal transformacion, y cuando los psiquiatras y especialistas lo estudiaron no pudieron hallar ningun tipo de desequilibrio en su mente. El caso suscito la curiosidad de muchos periodistas, pero fue la joven escritora espanola Maria Vallejo-Nagera quien tuvo la oportunidad de entrevistar a Wensbourgh y trabajar con el en la confeccion de este extraordinario relato basado en su vida y en la experiencia que cambio radicalmente su conducta.

5.0 out of 5 stars The power of Divine love to transform the human heart, March 7, 2010

This review is from: Un Mensajero En La Noche (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

Glimpses of that other, spiritual world have always tantalized the human spirit. When such glimpses also lead to major life changes, they are utterly fascinating.

Vallejo-Nagera presents a truly fascinating story, one based on real-life events. The novel opens in one of the most feared prisons in modern-day England -- Wakefield, where Albert Michael Wensbourgh (this is not his real name) is serving time for various crimes. As the reader meets this man, it becomes immediately clear that his is a very unpleasant, hate-filled personality, which makes his subsequent transformation all the more remarkable, almost "too good to be true".

Vallejo-Nagera herself interviewed Wensbourgh, weaving herself into the atory through the fictionalized character of Clara, a Spanish journalist working for a London newspaper, whose boyfriend, George, is covering the 911 disaster in New York.

Wensbourgh's transformation is due to the intervention of an angel, a messenger from God -- thus the title: "A Messenger In the Night". As students of the miraculous know, the word "angel" comes from the Greek "aggelos", meaning "messenger". The message given to this man, whose difficult life circumstances led him to a life of crime, had such an impact on him that it completely changed him into a luminous saint.

There are books that touch the heart and soul very deeply, and are destined to live on forever in the reader's memory. This is one such book. I certainly hope that it will soon be translated into English, so that a wider audience can have faith once more in the power of Divine love, as well as in the human heart's response to that love.

Este es el primer libro que leí de su autora María Vallejo-Nájera. Un tema tan serio como la conversión de un hombre perdido y llevado a un camino de oscuridad por sus malas decisiones acaba siendo un alma pura tanto por una orden como por una intervención divina. No podia estar mejor contado que por su misma autora. La atmósfera del libro empieza con excepticismo sobre el ser humano que ignora la presencia de Dios y como la aparición de un ser angelical cambia todo el panórama. El mundo invisible se vuelve visible al contemplar en un minuto una vida desperdiciada que se enriquece por una mandato del cielo. Un libro cálido, entusiasta, positivo y muy humano. Altamente recomendable. De verdad léalo, son de esos libros que sin proponérselo se quedan en el alma y en el corazón por siempre.
