Book Synopsis



Tras el éxito de La maestra, el profesor José Antonio Lucero continúa su emotivo reconocimiento a los docentes.

«José Antonio Lucero deslumbra gracias a una mirada sobre el pasado como la de Almudena Grandes». - 20 Minutos

UN BEST SELLER QUE CELEBRA A LOS DOCENTES QUE NOS HAN CAMBIADO LA VIDA.

Septiembre de 1955. Roque, un joven maestro que en el pasado fue un alumno difícil, llega a una escuela de la sierra de Sevilla con el deseo de que los niños puedan soñar con un futuro mejor, lejos del estruendo de la violencia y la lacra de la dictadura.

Poco a poco conseguirá sembrar en los pequeños la curiosidad por el conocimiento y descubrirles la belleza de las palabras a través de la poesía.

Sin embargo, sus inquietudes pedagógicas, heredadas de la maestra de su infancia, Lali, no casan con el estricto engranaje educativo del régimen ni con los ideales del director del centro, quien pronto empezará a sospechar de él. Y es que Roque esconde un secreto del pasado: busca algo que le arrebataron cuando era un niño, tras la detención de su profesora y su ingreso en un siniestro internado franquista, donde, a pesar de todo, descubrió que enseñar puede ser un acto de resistencia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Professor José Antonio Lucero continues his moving tribute to the world's educators in this follow-up to The Teacher.

"José Antonio Lucero has a way of bringing the past to life that recalls Almudena Grandes." - 20 Minutos

A BESTSELLER HONORING THE TEACHERS WHO HAVE CHANGED OUR LIVES.

September 1955. Roque, a young teacher who was himself a troublesome student, takes a job at a school in the mountains outside Seville, hoping to inspire his pupils to dream of a better future without violence and dictatorship.

Little by little, he awakens a thirst for knowledge in his students and teaches them to see the beauty of words through poetry.

But Roque's ideas on education, learned from his own childhood teacher, Lali, conflict with the strict curriculum demanded by the government and the school's principal, and he soon becomes a target of suspicion. And in fact, Roque has a deeper motive: to recover something he lost as a child following his teacher's arrest by the Franco regime, which made him see that teaching can be an act of resistance.
