This is an extraordinary personal testament, the story of one boys triumph in the face of impossible obstacles. Born with cerebral palsy in Moscow, Ruben Gallego was hidden away in Soviet state institutions by his maternal grandfather, the secretary general of the Spanish Communist Party in the 1960s. His was a boyhood spent in orphanages, hospitals, and oldage homes, a life of emotional deprivation and loss of human dignity. And yet there is no selfpity here, no bitterness, only an unfailing regard for the truth. Gallegos story is one of neglect and mistreatment but also of shared small pleasures, of courage, of the power of the human will, and of a childs growing fascination with books and the worlds he finds in them.
