Illustrated Edition (Italian Edition)

A Mexican fisherman has built the dream of a better life, redemption from poverty and toil, on the pearl he found at the bottom of the sea. The restlessness and passions aroused by this fleeting touch of fortune upend his life, that of his wife, and their child. Against the violence, Juana's love and the solidarity of some poor fishermen who are content to be able to see fortune up close are no longer enough. From the great fantastic adventure, Kino and his family will return to the daily grind without even that sole good that life had granted them: peace with themselves.

The illustrations by ALESSANDRO SANNA accompany this narrative. The fisherman's discovery of the precious pearl sets in motion a series of events that disrupt the tranquility of his life. The sudden wealth brings with it a sense of unease and temptation, testing the strength of his family's bonds.

Despite their love and the support of their fellow fishermen, Kino and his loved ones find themselves caught in a spiral of violence and desperation as they try to protect their newfound treasure. The narrative explores the fragility of happiness and the heavy price that can be paid for a fleeting encounter with fortune.

In the end, Kino and his family are left with nothing, their dreams of a better life shattered. The story serves as a poignant commentary on the human condition, the power of greed, and the struggle to maintain one's integrity in the face of adversity. The illustrations by Alessandro Sanna provide a visual accompaniment to this captivating tale, capturing the emotional journey of the characters and the raw beauty of the coastal setting.
