Il Sogno di Amir
Trauma, Narration and Hope
Trauma, Narration and Hope
Presentation:
Born from the personal experience of Alessandro Carrus, this book comes to life from an encounter with a friend who shared his story of fleeing the war in Syria. A true story, filled with fear, loss, and a journey no child should ever have to take.
Through the eyes of Amir, a child who watches his world crumble under the bombs, the story takes the reader into the heart of the pain felt by those forced to leave everything behind without even having the time to understand why. War takes, breaks, and leaves invisible scars. Yet among the ruins, a dream remains, and that is where Amir finds refuge. Because when everything shatters, imagination becomes the only place where he can still feel safe.
This is not a fairy tale, because war olds no magic. It is a story that speaks to children with a truth they can understand and to adults with the awareness that they have the responsibility to listen. Because peace does not grow from silence, but from memory and the ability to tell stories.
