El músico ciego

In this charming story that exudes compassion for the downtrodden and masterfully evokes the wonder and majesty of nature, the protagonist is born blind to a pair of well-to-do landowners in rural Ukraine. While the boy s father wants little to do with him, his perceptive and sensible mother determines to foster and educate his senses as much as possible, exposing him to literature, nature, and music. It s through the last of these that the boy incredibly sensitive to the world around him, but lacking the means with which to express himself finds his true freedom. This simple, sweetly rendered tale is a celebration of life s simple pleasures and its brief moments of beauty.
