Showing results for "special fictions" in Children's Health

Lautaro es un niño con autismo. Este libro cuenta su historia y la de su madre, quien la escribe, embarcada en la aventura del título. Una aventura que le exige sincerar lo difícil que resulta acompañar las horas de un niño como Lautaro, que no tiene lenguaje verbal, que casi no duerme. Lo duro de aceptar que su condición lo acompañará toda su vida y que los desafíos que deberá enfrentar su hijo son muy duros.

An upper-middle class peasant inherits his father's farm, which he hopes to pass on to his children. When the twin boys are born, there is joy in the family until they realize that they are severely retarded - to use the term of the day, idiots. And then another son is born, also an idiot. In desperation, Jean Pierre joins the church, which he has no use for, and a daughter is born. Another idiot. Jean Pierre becomes even more angry and abusive to his wife, whom he blames for producing four idiots.
