Una novela de fantasmas, tremendamente entretenida...y original. Un viaje al verdadero más allá, sin salir de tu habitación. Un acto de amor en otra dimensión. Una entretenida historia de aventuras, de vida, de amor...y de fantasmas. La curiosa y sorprendente relación entre dos seres que se aman en distintos planos de la existencia. Ambientada en el sórdido mundo de una cárcel de Brasil, pero llevándonos de la mano del protagonista a lugares maravillosos y lejanos, SAMUEL APRENDE A SER FANTASMA es la historia de la muerte - y la vida- de Samuel, en contacto con su gran amor (Luisa), pasando por momentos cruciales de la existencia. La magistral narración de su autor, Sergio Andrade, nos lleva, entre recuerdos, romance, aventuras, prisión y fugas, a ese otro mundo, paralelo al nuestro, en que los espíritus, los viajes astrales, las fuentes de energía, el "cordón de plata", las percepciones extrasensoriales y mil maravillas más, son cosas de todos los días. SAMUEL APRENDE A SER FANTASMA nos introduce a un mundo de fantasmas en que no son necesarios ya más, mediums o clarividentes, y en que el tomarnos de las manos alrededor de mesas temblequeantes, entre ruidos súbitos teatrales y voces cavernosas de "aparecidos", es cosa del pasado. Ésta es la sorprendente historia de un hombre (Samuel) que al morir, y por amor a su pareja (Luisa), aprende a ser fantasma. La narración de cómo ese hombre llega a entender, después de muerto, la importancia del recuerdo, la esencia de las religiones y el principio de la inmortalidad, a lo largo de sus solitarias noches en el más allá. Un singular curso de autoayuda (post mortem!) en que el personaje de la novela nos da no sólo una lección de vida, sino -algo aun más importante para todos nosotros-: una lección de muerte, en un viaje por las planicies, montañas y ciudades de nuestro mundo, y entre las estrellas, lunas y planetas del cosmos, por los medios de transporte menos convencionales del mundo occidental -aquéllos que no requieren de autos, gasolina, barcos ni aviones! Sergio Andrade, nos ofrece, en su novela SAMUEL APRENDE A SER FANTASMA, un sorprendente, distinto y original enfoque a la idea de la vida más allá de la muerte. Una historia en que el amor hace milagros desde ultratumba, vence los errores del pasado y rompe las cadenas que limitan, atan y apresan a la gente en su paso por la Tierra.Una aventura más allá del tiempo y el espacio...--------------------One of the most compelling ghosts' stories of our time. Andrade succeeds in giving us a completely new approach to the life beyond death eternal questions. Samuel -the main character- gets immediately our sympathy despite his own early death. SAMUEL APRENDE A SER FANTASMA is, perhaps, one of the very few novels in which the central participant dies exactly at the very beginning of the book. From that point on, everything can happens. We find through the pages of Andrade's new novel, many esoteric concepts about the spirits, the way of establishing contact with them, the "astral voyages" -in which the persons can travel to far places by leaving their physical bodies-, and the birth of the religions in manhood mind. One can read the story in many levels: it is a ghosts story, but also a love story, a tale of adventures, "a prison story" -since it takes place inside a brazilian jail-, a"romance" of and among spirits...In this novel, speaking with the dead, flying around the world and to other galaxies, changing the reality from different plans and dimensions of the universe and the existence, are day to day things; everything, without quitting the search of love. That's the ultimate question of Andrade's book: How is it possible to have an actual love relationship with those who live beyond dead?Find here the answer. The old practices of trembling tables and holding hands are, in Andrade's masterpiece, things from the past.

Since his first published book (REVELACIONES Editorial Planeta / 2002 / ISBN: 970-690-679-7), the Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz(MEX) born author, SERGIO ANDRADE, (known in musical and recording circles as "El Rey Midas" / "King Midas"), has made it clear, that his originality and iconoclastic richness of style, in fiction and poetry, are his trademark. Being a natural writer since the age of five, he used to write little poems and romances already in his early childhood. Pretty well known as a singer and composer of worldwide hit songs, recorded by such artists as Herb Alpert (A&M), Franck Pourcel (EMI), and many others from Latin America (Yuri, Lucero, María Martha Serra Lima, etc.), he has continuously written, poetry and prose, from the launching of his author's career, in 2002, until now, making the literature, another way of expressing his enormous artistic talent. "Para mí, la poesía es la música del lenguaje, del mundo, del ser más íntimo del hombre; y la novela, la ficción, es la memoria de sus más caros sueños", he says about his art. (For me, poetry is the music of the language, of the world, of the most intimate root of the human being; and novel, fiction, is the memory of his dearest dreams". In 2006, it appeared DE LO PERDIDO, LO QUE APAREZCA / Una colección de sus nuevos poemas / Editorial Literalia / 2006 (ISBN: 968-5544-36-0), and the next year, LA SANGRE INÚTIL y otros cuentos eróticos (THE USELESS BLOOD and another erotic short stories) / Ediciones B / 2007 (ISBN: 970-710-236-5), which became a scandal in the literary circuits of his country, because of his avant garde style and the reckless treatment of sexual issues. Andrade has become a symbol and a legend in Latin America, those of the tormented and self constructed old style tough man, and he is now, by his fifties, a cult singer- composer-writer by his own merits. Hundreds of thousands of visits to his songs and videos' YouTube Channel, show that there is a huge interest from the audiences, in knowing what it'll be like his next work of art. Sergio Andrade's first novel, MALALIENTO ( Una novela alucinante sobre el México en deconstrucción / One hallucinating novel about México in deconstruction), depicts the actual conditions which brought México -from 1968 up to date- to its prominent status among the most corrupted and violent countries in the world, and offers a clear perspective for the next presidential elections in México.
