The Phaeton report (Noah’s secret diary)

Centuries and centuries ago, the Hopi had said:”The demographic explosion, mushrooming megalopolises and expanding air transport made Man no longer content with creation alone. An increasing number of individuals looked only to their own personal and material wellbeing. Man had an overabundance of everything but he always wanted more and more. He did not stop producing things even when he did not need them and the more he had the more he clamoured for.”
They spoke about the past, the present or the futur?

The answer is in “The Phaeton report”.

For every ten people who see this book, one of them will be drawn to it; for every ten people who are drawn to it, one of them will buy it; for every ten people who buy it, one of them will finish it; for every ten people who finish it, one of them will understand it; for every ten people who understand it, one of them will benefit from it; and for every ten people who benefit from it, just one will keep walking on. And that is who this book has been written for, that one person in a million. Just for that person. Because one day, perhaps, that person will take me by the hand and take me further than I was able to reach.

We would love to tell you what this Albert Salvadó book is all about but that is not such an easy task. It is a book that refuses to follow convention, breaks all the rules of storytelling and is a truly unique novel, so it would be pointless or fruitless to try to summarise it all.

 Perhaps the critics have put it best:

 “This is no conventional historic novel… This novel breaks all of the accepted rules that orthodox literary criticism follows in judging how novels should be written (criteria laid down by E. M. Forster and followed by many critics). The book is based on a vast amount of documents and research, which is another way the author breaks the rules, because he does not conceal anything… and he does all that without breaking step, as if it were a game… This is a controversial book… My life will never be the same after reading The Phaeton Report.”(Carme J. Huertas, writer, EMBAT)

 “His most ambitious book. If Albert Salvadó (Andorra la Vella) had been born in another part of the globe he would be a bestselling author… He has more than a score of books under his belt, mostly historical novels, which are unspoilt by any pretensions to bestseller status.”(Joan Joseph Isern, AVUI)

 “The Phaeton Report is a frenetic novel in which the Andorran writer Albert Salvadó revises the official version of the Great Flood and warns of the dangers of climate change.” (Xavier Aldekoa, LA VANGUARDIA)

 “… The Phaeton Report is a real surprise … an intelligent bestseller.” (Jordi Valls, AVUI)

 “…it goes down delightfully and leaves a refreshing taste in your mouth… impressive work… science fiction of the highest order… direct, linear narration coupled with a vast amount of information.” (Antonio J. Ubero, ELFARO)

 “The Phaeton Report, a great legend that will make history with a truly possible account. His readers are in for a treat because the range of settings portrayed allows them to enjoy a long journey to the City of the Sun.” (El racó del llibre, 7DIES)

 “… very well argued and documented.” (Albert Jorquera, DIARI DE VILANOVA)
