Corazón : $b (diario de un niño)

Through the fresh eyes of a young pupil, the novel unfolds as a diary that records the ordinary and extraordinary moments of school life in late‑19th‑century Italy. Each entry captures simple joys—a new friendship, a class contest, a quiet after‑school walk—while gently probing the deeper currents of loyalty, honesty and the fear of disappointment. The narrator’s voice is tender yet observant, turning everyday incidents into small mirrors that reflect the heart’s quiet struggles.

The book moves from the first weeks of term, where the boy meets his classmates and learns the rhythm of lessons, to a series of vignettes that reveal different personalities and the moral dilemmas they face. Teachers appear as mentors who model patience, and peers become mirrors for courage and compassion. By the end of the opening act, listeners are left with a vivid portrait of childhood innocence tinged with the first hints of social awareness, inviting them to linger on each sentiment as if it were a whispered secret.
