About This Book

La storia segue un ragazzo povero di paese che, attirato dall'arrivo di un burattinaio, entra nel mondo delle rappresentazioni popolari, suonando il tamburo e imparando a muovere i pupazzi. Cresce professionalmente e artisticamente attraverso prove, recite straordinarie e una scoperta che stimola la sua ambizione, fino a realizzare un vero capolavoro. Un infortunio di lavoro e le successive prove personali mettono alla prova le sue speranze, richiedendo sacrificio e abnegazione. La vicenda si chiude con un mutamento della sua sorte, frutto di perseveranza e riconoscimento pubblico.
