BIRBAL: IL PICCOLO SCIAMANO

The work, magnificently illustrated by numerous colour plates by Lucia Sforza, narrates the story of Birbal, a child from the Himalayas, describing his encounter with the spirits of the wood who, by means of an authentic initiatory path, lead him to know the hidden mysteries of nature and transform the young child into their own mouthpiece among men.

In the shape of a fairytale, the book evokes the echo of remote worlds, where the boundaries between reality and dream are subtle enough to allow, even nowadays, human beings to look into the deep abyss of the sacred and of mystery.
