Books.... It is hard.... i've read many books, but now i can't remember one. I used to love compilations of short stories book, because there was many ideas to think about... Now i remember, there was something especial about a book, it's a diary of a child and in this diary he tell us his life and a lot of stories.
The name of this book is "Heart: diary of child" (Corazón: Diario de un niño), written by the italian novelist Edmondo de Amicis. It's set on the italian city of turin.
This book narrates the daily life of a child named Enrico Bottini a 9 years old student, he goes to an italian school. In this diary he talks about his classmates, who come from a working class origin, and their stories, everyone has a hard life with different problems of a daily life in the poverty. Also the teacher narrates to the students a monthly story, and the stories talks about similar experiences, beautiful and maybe a little sad stories but these are stories that show us a little bit of reality of that time. Also sometimes Enrico's parents send him some letters, and that is the way we can see how they talk to him, it's the way that they use to communicate with their son.
It has a beautiful message, in every story revolves around a different moral value. Enrico has an upper class background, and with every experience that he lives in the book he starts to learn more about the real life and very important values as to help people in need.I really like this because it makes me think about life, i can see on it reality, what i feel with this book seems so real and that is the feel that i look for when i read a book, i specially like the books that bring you to the reality of people, i totally recommended it. So if you have some free time read it.
