Stowaway. Matuta A.M.

“Stage passenger” is one of the best books of the Spanish writer Ana Maria Matute (1925-2014). A ten -year -old Zhuja, a book and romance, bring up three aunts. The boy arranges his own “sailing ship” in the attic and dreams of traveling. Once he stumbles in a barn on a wounded criminal who escaped from prison. The buzz hides an uninvited guest in the attic and finds a beautiful interlocutor and the same fanatical fan of wanderings and swimming in his face. And now the adult and the child ripened the plan: as soon as spring comes, they will go together to distant countries. But a stow passenger (so Zhuhu calls his friend) secretly leaves alone. Zhuyu rushes after him and almost dies. A book about the betrayal and repentance of an adult, about a pure soul and rapid growing up the boy will read and re-read children 7-10 years old. Not only children, but also parents will read it with a nominth interest and pleasure.
