Un camino hacia la paz interior y del mundo, consistente con las enseanzas de Jess, se ilustra en este libro. Empleando principios universales relacionados con la turbulencia natural, tal y como se ha descubierto recientemente en la ciencia de la complejidad, este trabajo muestra cmo simples nociones de la ciencia moderna nos permiten visualizar las consecuencias de acciones personales y colectivas y cmo dichas ideas nos invitan, a travs de la razn y la fe, a buscar la armona y la amistad en una condicin tipificada por la hipotenusa de un tringulo rectngulo. Escrita en un estilo que convida a la reflexin y al descubrimiento, La Hipotenusa emplea el formato de un cuento ilustrado, con |personas| caminando encima de diagramas cientficos, para tejer conceptos y smbolos de las matemticas, la fsica, la poltica, la economa y la moral, de una forma original e inesperada. El trabajo, dedicado a la memoria del Papa Juan Pablo II, comienza con una cita |geomtrica| del Evangelio segn San Lucas (Lc 3: 4-6), el cual est seguido por un Prefacio y un Preludio que marcan la pauta para el texto principal. La narrativa est luego dividida en cuatro secciones principales: Un poco de historia, Un poco de matemticas, Un poco de fsica, y Un poco de sentido comn, las cuales estn suplementadas por un conjunto de notas, al final del libro, el cual contiene referencias pertinentes y explicaciones adicionales al texto. Al final, la historia incluye una coleccin de poesas-canciones que enlazan an ms los smbolos en la parbola, un Eplogo que enfatiza el amor como la solucin a los males que nos aquejan, y otra cita Bblica que refuerza el mensaje de la parbola, esta vez del Evangelio segn San Mateo (Mt 19: 16-24).Comentarios: |Carlos Puente has an unusual gift for using scientific ideas, amusing sketches and poetic comments to convey spiritual insights in a way that is attractive and eye-catching.| Rev. Dr. John C. Polkinghorne Author of Belief in God in an Age of Science and The Faith of a Physicist 2002 Templeton Prize Winner |Terei de confessar que achei fascinantes as suas propostas, tanto como se tivesse nas minhas mos um libro desconhecido de Borges.| Jos Saramago Author of Blindness and The Gospel according to Jesus Christ 1998 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature |After reading it few times, and needing time to reflect after each reading, The Hypotenuse can be understood as both a parable and a Zen Koan. A parable is an allegory intended for a moral and/or spiritual lesson, a Zen Koan poses a paradoxical question or problem whose intention is a spiritual breakthrough. The tale, both profoundly simple and simply profound, has an urgent message for all who are troubled by globalization and what it means today and could mean for humanity and our common future, for those promoting global justice and the just distribution of the earth's good, and the spiritual welfare of humanity. Politics, the economy, humanity and spirituality are components of The Hypotenuse, and therefore, equal factors in its solution. A tale ancient, yet applicable to the present moment, it demonstrates that it is within our reach and power to attain the balance that supports and maintains life for all.| Rev. Wil Tyrrell, S.A. Director, Commission on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, Archdiocese of New York
