In the Sea There are Crocodiles

Based on the True Story of Enaiatollah Akbari

By: Fabio Geda

When ten-year-old Enaiatollah Akbari’s small village in Afghanistan falls prey to Taliban rule in early 2000, his mother shepherds the boy across the border into Pakistan but has to leave him there all alone to fend for himself. Thus begins Enaiat’s remarkable and often punishing five-year ordeal, which takes him through Iran, Turkey, and Greece before he seeks political asylum in Italy at the age of fifteen. Along the way, Enaiat endures the crippling physical and emotional agony of dangerous border crossings, trekking across bitterly cold mountain pathways for days on end or being stuffed into the false bottom of a truck. But not everyone is as resourceful, resilient, or lucky as Enaiat, and there are many heart-wrenching casualties along the way. Based on Enaiat’s close collaboration with Italian novelist Fabio Geda and expertly rendered in English by an award- winning translator, this novel reconstructs the young boy’s memories, perfectly preserving the childlike perspective and rhythms of an intimate oral history. Told with humor and humanity, In the Sea There Are Crocodiles brilliantly captures Enaiat’s moving and engaging voice and lends urgency to an epic story of hope and survival.

In the Sea There are Crocodiles

The Story of Enaiatollah Akbari

By: Fabio Geda

A bestseller in Italy, a beautiful, heartbreaking novel based on the true story of an Afghan boy's journey in search of safety. One night before putting him to bed, Enaiatollah's mother tells him three things: don't use drugs, don't use weapons, don't steal. The next day he wakes up to find she isn't there. They have fled their village in Ghazni to seek safety outside Afghanistan but his mother has decided to return home to her younger children. Ten-year-old Enaiatollah is left alone in Pakistan to fend for himself. In a book based on a true story, Italian novelist Fabio Geda describes Enaiatollah's remarkable five-year journey from Afghanistan to Italy where he finally managed to claim political asylum. His ordeal took him through Iran, Turkey and Greece, working on building sites in order to pay people-traffickers, and enduring the physical misery of border crossings squeezed into the false bottoms of lorries or trekking across inhospitable mountains. A series of almost implausible strokes of fortune enabled him to get to Turin, where he found help from an Italian family and met Fabio Geda. The result of their friendship is this unique book in which Enaiatollah's engaging, moving voice is brilliantly captured by Geda's subtle storytelling. In Geda's hands, Enaiatollah's journey becomes a universal story of stoicism in the face of fear, and the search for a place where life is liveable.

Imago Picta

By: Andrea Fabio Massimo Pedrazzini

Una narrazione che inizia dalla fine, una storia ricostruita attraverso i ricordi del protagonista che, nel loro susseguirsi, si fanno a volte frammentari, altre volte distorti ma sempre vivi nonostante il dolore che spesso portano con sé. Grazie ad una scrittura avvincente, Pedrazzini riesce a trascinare il lettore negli stati d’animo del protagonista in un’escalation di eventi fino all’inaspettato epilogo. Andrea Fabio Massimo Pedrazzini nasce a Milano, il 6 febbraio 1985. Sin da bambino coltiva la propria passione per gli studi umanistici, per la letteratura e per il cinema. Frequenta il liceo classico e la facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia, conseguendo la laurea in Comunicazione per l’Impresa e i Media, presso l’Università Cattolica di Milano. Dopo un lungo periodo dedicato alla carriera sportiva, inizia un percorso professionale presso un’importante azienda italiana, dove oggi ricopre il ruolo di Responsabile Marketing e Comunicazione. Nel frattempo, dedica il proprio tempo libero alla scrittura, continuando a creare storie e ad esplorare l’animo umano in tutte le sue forme. Imago Picta è il suo romanzo d’esordio.
