Tanto Quiss (él) como Ajayi(ella) son metidos en cuerpos de ancianos achacosos, y forzados jugar los más estrambóticos juegos de mesa que rayan tanto en su churriguerismo como en su prolongación, en un sitio donde parece no existir el concepto de tiempo. Podemos observar, entonces, que si bien en el caso de Graham su historia es bastante situacional, es decir, basada en acciones y situaciones concretas; la de Grout se vuelve extremadamente personal, basada en sus percepciones, sensaciones, y en una interacción limitada con distintos entes sociales.

Iain Banks commented that the book "didn't do exactly what it set out to do and I think you have failed to an extent if the reader can't understand what you're saying. I worry sometimes that people will read Walking on Glass and think in some way I was trying to fool them, which I wasn't." [1] Release details [ edit ]

Walk On Glass Floors

It would be easy to dismiss Walking on Glass as three separate stories that are destined to collide, but in doing so one would negate the true symbiotic and symbolic facets that flow through the narrative.

Walk on Glass is made with either a sandblasted or patterned ceramic top surface which provides a non-slip surface, even when the glass is wet. Glass floors without this will always be unsafe to walk on as you can easily slip just like if you have a wet tiled floor in your bathroom or kitchen. Is Glass Flooring always Clear?Why is the big castle so big and enigmatic (LIKE THE WOMAN oh the parallels THE ENIGMA). The little servants squeak and scuttle, they are very adorable. HE IS TORTURING THEM HE IS TORTURING THEM HE IS--they play chess for two hundred days, the absurdity, the meaninglessness, the pain. Banks' 'Walking on Glass' is the telling of three stories, the main theme of which seems to be with how the easiest of circumstances can make you... well, mad. Pasos sobre el Cristal fue el segundo libro de Banks en ser publicado, y por lo que estuve investigando, pasó sin pena ni gloria. The ending of the book is open to interpretation (I came up with three so far) but I'm not sure if that was Banks intent...

The story of Graham’s unhappy pursuit of the elusive Sara ffitch is also reasonably absorbing, though the cruel twist at the end seems very contrived. But wait! - is it meant to seem contrived because it has been? Glass floor panels are built by laminating two to three pieces of tempered glass together and they are then placed into a specifically manufactured supporting structure around the joins. Most experts would say that glass flooring can have 2 times the strength and support of a wooden floor. Can Walk on Glass be used Outside? Walking on Glass is formed of three storylines that initially do not appear to be linked, but eventually come together. The extent to which these stories are interconnected is dependent on how deeply into the book the reader is willing to read. La estructura de la novela se basa en la interposición de tres historias sin una aparente conexión entré sí; casi paralelas, llegan a un punto, hacia el final, en la qu ... (continuar)

Walk on Glass Floors

When things are bad there is always hope. At least that’s what we’re told. We grow up believing that hope is one of the single most important emotions a human can feel. It is connected to the human spirit, and we are told that hope is what allows that spirit to rise above those things that would destroy us. But is it possible that there is something flawed in that equation? Could it be that the human spirit is actually found in the antithesis of hope?
