    <![CDATA[Edimburgo, 1874. Jack nasce no dia mais frio do mundo, com o coração… congelado. A Dr.ª Madeleine, a parteira (segundo alguns, uma bruxa) que o trouxe ao mundo, consegue salvar-lhe a vida instalando um mecanismo – um relógio de madeira – no seu peito, para ajudar a que o coração funcione. A prótese funciona e Jack sobrevive, mas com uma condição: terá sempre de se proteger das sobrecargas emocionais. Nada de raiva e, sobretudo, nada de amor. A Dr.ª Madeleine, que o adopta e vela pelo seu mecanismo, avisa: «o amor é perigoso para o teu coraçãozinho.» Mas não há mecânica capaz de fazer frente à vida e, um dia, uma pequena cantora de rua arrebata o coração – o mecânico e o verdadeiro – de Jack. Disposto a tudo para a conquistar, Jack parte numa peregrinação sentimental até à Andaluzia, a terra natal da sua amada, onde encontrará as delícias do amor… e a sua crueldade.]]>

    <![CDATA[Edimburgo, 1874. Jack nasce no dia mais frio do mundo, com o coração… congelado. A Dr.ª Madeleine, a parteira (segundo alguns, uma bruxa) que o trouxe ao mundo, consegue salvar-lhe a vida instalando um mecanismo – um relógio de madeira – no seu peito, para ajudar a que o coração funcione. A prótese funciona e Jack sobrevive, mas com uma condição: terá sempre de se proteger das sobrecargas emocionais. Nada de raiva e, sobretudo, nada de amor. A Dr.ª Madeleine, que o adopta e vela pelo seu mecanismo, avisa: «o amor é perigoso para o teu coraçãozinho.» Mas não há mecânica capaz de fazer frente à vida e, um dia, uma pequena cantora de rua arrebata o coração – o mecânico e o verdadeiro – de Jack. Disposto a tudo para a conquistar, Jack parte numa peregrinação sentimental até à Andaluzia, a terra natal da sua amada, onde encontrará as delícias do amor… e a sua crueldade.]]>

    <![CDATA[A fantastical novel, a wildly inventive tale—by turns poignant and funny, lusty and wrenching—about love and heartbreak.<br/><br/>Edinburgh, 1874: born with a frozen heart, Jack is near dead when his mother abandons him to the care of Dr. Madeleine—witch doctor, midwife, protector of orphans—who saves Jack by placing a cuckoo clock in his chest. It is in her orphanage that Jack grows up, amid tear-filled flasks, eggs containing memories, a man with a musical spine.<br/><br/>As Jack gets older, Dr. Madeleine warns him that his heart is too fragile for strong emotions: he must never, ever fall in love. And, of course, he does: on his tenth birthday and with head-over-heels abandon. The object of his ardor is Miss Acacia—a bespectacled young street performer with a soul-stirring voice. But it’s not only Jack’s heart that’s at risk, it’s his very life—and doubly so when he injures the school bully in a fight for the affections of the beautiful singer.<br/><br/>Now begins a wild journey, of escape and pursuit, from Edinburgh to Paris to Miss Acacia’s home in Andalusia, where Jack will finally learn the great joys, and ultimately the greater costs, of owning a fully formed heart.]]>

    <![CDATA[En la noche más fría del siglo XIX, nace en la ciudad de Edimburgo, Jack, el frágil hijo de una prostituta. El bebé nace con un corazón congelado y para salvarlo, le colocan un reloj de madera sonoro y molesto al que habrá de dar cuerda toda su vida y le causará todo tipo de inconvenientes. La prótesis funciona y Jack sobrevive, pero debe respectar una regla: evitar todo tipo de emoción que pueda alterar su corazón. Nada de enfados, y sobre todo, sobre todo, nada de enamorarse. Pero Jack conoce a una pequeña cantante de ojos grandes, Miss Acacia, una joven andaluza que pondrá a prueba el corazón de nuestro tierno héroe. Por el amor que siente hacia la joven, Jack se lanzará a una aventura quijotesca que le llevará desde Edimburgo a París, a las calles de Granada, haciéndole conocer las dulzuras y durezas del amor.]]>

    <![CDATA[A fantastical novel, a wildly inventive tale—by turns poignant and funny, lusty and wrenching—about love and heartbreak.<br/><br/>Edinburgh, 1874: born with a frozen heart, Jack is near dead when his mother abandons him to the care of Dr. Madeleine—witch doctor, midwife, protector of orphans—who saves Jack by placing a cuckoo clock in his chest. It is in her orphanage that Jack grows up, amid tear-filled flasks, eggs containing memories, a man with a musical spine.<br/><br/>As Jack gets older, Dr. Madeleine warns him that his heart is too fragile for strong emotions: he must never, ever fall in love. And, of course, he does: on his tenth birthday and with head-over-heels abandon. The object of his ardor is Miss Acacia—a bespectacled young street performer with a soul-stirring voice. But it’s not only Jack’s heart that’s at risk, it’s his very life—and doubly so when he injures the school bully in a fight for the affections of the beautiful singer.<br/><br/>Now begins a wild journey, of escape and pursuit, from Edinburgh to Paris to Miss Acacia’s home in Andalusia, where Jack will finally learn the great joys, and ultimately the greater costs, of owning a fully formed heart.]]>
