Il canto dell'arena
Nel Senegal di fine secolo, la storia di una profonda amicizia fra il lottatore Malaw, colosso dal cuore tenero, e l'adolescente Nalla, affascinato dal mondo dell'arena e dalla magia delle sue leggi antiche. Due genitori che sbagliano per amore, imprigionati nei vuoti principi di un mondo impersonale e borghese, Un insegnante sensibile e attento, capace di ristabilire il giusto equilibrio fra tradizione e modernità. Questi gli ingredienti principali di un romanzo per tutta la famiglia, viaggio sereno attraverso i misteri di una vita, sussurrato all'orecchio del lettore con un linguaggio semplice e poetico.
