Description

Throughout this beautiful book, we will experience how magic, music, nature, and spirituality come together in the same story to leave us with a marvelous message.

A master craftsman in love with his work, whose creations are extraordinary, has a dream to fulfill: he wants to make the violin with the most exquisite wood in the world.

Wood from a tree that seems more like a legend, located in almost extinct forests, will make this adventure a unique experience.

It won't be easy. Still, on the way to fulfilling his dream, the protagonist will leave us with a great lesson: love for the things we do, respect for nature, the value of art and music as a priceless heritage, and having the courage to pursue our dreams until we make them come true.

Un lutier enamorado de su trabajo, cuyas creaciones son extraordinarias, tiene un sueo que cumplir: desea fabricar el violn con la madera ms exquisita del mundo.

Una madera procedente de un rbol que ms parece una leyenda, sito en unos bosques casi extintos, harn de esta aventura una experiencia nica. No ser fcil, pero en el camino hacia cumplir su sueo, el protagonista nos dejar un gran aprendizaje: el amor por aquellas cosas que hacemos, el respeto a la naturaleza, el valor del arte y la msica como un patrimonio de incalculable valor y tener la osada de perseguir nuestros sueos hasta hacerlos realidad.
