In the stories of Ray Bradbury, readers have journeyed beyond the boundaries set by their imaginations, and have reveled in fantastic realms created by "one of the world's outstanding storytellers" (Toronto Globe & Mail). Now this prolific writer spins an enchanting fable about a lost boy who makes the acquaintance of a long-forgotten, though very powerful, ancient god. When Ahmed, the twelve-year-old son of a caravan leader, falls from his camel, he is lost in a vast desert, and his situation looks ominous. Isolated and alone, the young boy begins to cry and his tears awaken the ancient god Gonn-Ben-Allah, Keeper of the Ghosts of the Lost Names, who lies beneath the sand. Rising to full form for the first time in tens of thousands of years, the majestic Gonn tells his frightened savior that fate has brought them together. To comfort Ahmed, the god bestows the gift of flight upon the boy, and the pair sets off on an evening of spectacular adventures. Traveling through time and space, Gonn shows the fascinated Ahmed the wonders of the world-past and present-and its sorrows. Within each startling revelation, Ahmed finds wisdom-and learns to accept life for all it has to offer. A wondrous fable for children of all ages, AHMED AND THE OBLIVION MACHINES is yet another glorious testament to the remarkable gifts of master storyteller Ray Bradbury.… (plus d'informations)
Cuando Ahmed, de doce años, hijo del jefe de una caravana, se cae una noche de su camello, se encuentra solo y perdido entre las dunas desérticas y se echa a llorar. Las lágrimas de Ahmed caen y despiertan al antiguo dios Gonn-BennAlá, Guardián de los Fantasmas de Nombres Perdidos, que dormía bajo las arenas. Resucitado por primera vez en docenas de miles de años, el majestuoso Gonn le cuenta al niño la historia que los ha unido, y le concede el don de volar. Juntos se elevan en el aire nocturno, y a través del tiempo y el espacio Gonn muestra al fascinado Ahmed las maravillas -y las penas- del mundo. Con cada sorprendente revelación, Ahmed encuentra un poco más de sabiduría y terminará por aceptar lo que la vida le ofrece.
I was a bit surprised at all the low reviews this book has received so far. Then again, it is a book about dreams and dreaming and imagination, and while the plot and message are there and easy enough to discover, they are not spelled out in a neat, easy way. Artists and children could particularly love this book, but anyone wanting a nice, straightforward, proper story might be a bit lost and disappointed with this book. I would really love to see what images artists could come up with to illustrate the scenes from this book. ( )
A children's book by the master, not one of his more engaging works. Ahmed is the 12-year-old son of a desert caravan leader who falls from his camel and is lost. His tears awaken an ancient god, Gonn-Ben-Allah, Keeper of the Ghosts of the Lost Names, and the two embark on a series of adventures through space and time, and Ahmed learns some life lessons. The book is a bit too wrapped in mystic ambiguity for my tastes, and Bradbury's considerable skills are not enough here to make this a book that would appeal to children as much as the diehard Bradbury completist... like me.

It was the night following the day when the seagull was seen over the desert that Ahmed, the son of Ahmed, fell from his camel and was lost as the caravan moved on into the dusk.
