lian

by Chen Jiang Hong, Federica Rocca (Translator)

Monsieur Lo est un pêcheur solitaire. Sa jonque est sa maison. Il est triste, cette année le poisson est rare. Un jour, pour le remercier de lui avoir fait traverser le fleuve, une vieille vieille femme lui offre quelques graines de lotus. Ces graines sont particulières, elles viennent de la gueule d'un dragon. Monsieur Lo les plante, et voilà qu'un champ de lotus pousse en l'espace d'une nuit. Une mélodie s'élève doucement. L'une des fleurs illumine l'obscurité. Entre les pétales de cette fleur apparaît une petite fille. C'est Lian. Lian aussi est particulière. Elle a un don précieux. Elle peut d'un geste changer les choses, changer la vie des gens. À cause de ce don, elle est en danger...

Reviews

[Franco Vite · Rating 4 out of 5]

Vale lo stesso discorso fatto per "Il principe tigre".
Un libro eccezionale, imperdibile, eccezionale.

[Giada · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whether is a adult book or children book whenever I find a GOOD read I get super excited and thrilled about the idea that I will share my ( treasure) discovery! This short story is packed with the most important values we should all try to enrich in our lifetime: patience - generosity - altruism - care - love - not to be greedy - bravery - and last but not the least to be content with the smallest thing in the world.
