Sinossi
Excerpt from A House of Children: A Novel
But we loved him because he was bored, like us, with lessons, and because he sailed in the Atlantic, though he was strictly forbidden to take us younger ones beyond Sandy Point. We delighted to be with Pinto, because he was one of those people who could give the power of enjoyment; the sense of concrete experience.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book paints a vivid picture of childhood summers spent in a seaside town in Ireland. Through the eyes of a young narrator, we experience the boundless energy and curiosity of a large family of cousins as they explore the rugged landscape, steal boats, and chase after adventure. Their days are filled with the raw beauty of the natural world ââ â towering mountains, vast skies, and the ever-present ocean ââ â and the simple joys of picnics, games, and shared laughter. The author masterfully captures the fleeting, yet intensely felt, nature of childhood experience. One moment, the children are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their beloved cousin Delia, their anticipation reaching a fever pitch. The next, they are completely absorbed in digging out a rusty bar of iron from the mud, convinced it holds untold possibilities. Their world is further enriched by the presence of Pinto, a tutor with a penchant for storytelling and an unconventional outlook on life. Pinto's cynical humor and utopian ideals spark lively discussions and introduce the children to new ways of seeing the world. Through their interactions with Pinto, and their own unfettered explorations, the children begin to grapple with larger questions about education, society, and the meaning of life. Ultimately, this book offers a poignant reflection on the power and fragility of childhood innocence. It reminds us of the transformative potential of experiencing the world with open eyes and a sense of wonder, before the constraints of adulthood take hold.
