L'autore del libro, Andrew Crofts, ne ha scritti molti altri con storie da ricordare come quella di Iqbal, spesso senza neanche firmarli, visto che dice di voler semplicemente prestare la sua mano e la sua penna a chi ha una storia da raccontare, ma magari non sa scriverla. In breve tempo aveva capito quanto l'istruzione fosse importante, fondamentale per le sorti di un popolo, che, se ignorante, inevitabilmente diventa schiavo.
Siamo complici anche noi. Jul 05, Farheen rated it really liked it Recommended to Farheen by: An excellent book complete with riveting details of the lives of little children fooled and abused as bonded labourers. A story of an inspiring child who breaks through the mental shackles and is determined to fight the system and bring about change for himself and everyone else. The book takes you right into the psyche of a 8yr old then 10 yr old then 13 yr old The escapes he plans an An excellent book complete with riveting details of the lives of little children fooled and abused as bonded labourers.
The escapes he plans and how he gets caught and is handed back to his cruel master is heart breaking and it is indeed a sad tale of a reality that continues to exist in many countries where neither laws nor human rights are respected. The book made me want to do something for the injustice these children face - and I'm still thinking what I can do and how to make actions effective.
The Little Hero
A moving story that needs to be read by all, especially those in the developed world where things come far too easily and without much effort. An eye opener and an inspirational heart-tugger. One for the road. I finished it in 2 weeks while on a road trip!

He felt very lonely, and the hurt in his arm grew and grew.

Little Hero () - IMDb
What are you, a little child, that you try to keep me out? Hans started to pull out his finger; he was so frightened that he felt as if he must run for ever. But that minute he remembered how much depended on him; if he pulled out his finger, the water would surely make the hole bigger, and at last break down the dike, and the sea would come in on all the land and houses.
He set his teeth, and stuck his finger tighter than ever. At that moment, he heard a far-off shout. Far in the distance he saw a black something on the road, and dust. The men were coming! At last, they were coming.
They came nearer, fast, and he could make out his own father, and the neighbours. They had pickaxes and shovels, and they were running. The next minute, it seemed, they were there. And when they saw Hans, with his pale face, and his hand tight in the dike, they gave a great cheer,—just as people do for soldiers back from war; and they lifted him up and rubbed his aching arm with tender hands, and they told him that he was a real hero and that he had saved the town. When the men had mended the dike, they marched home like an army, and Hans was carried high on their shoulders, because he was a hero.
