Synopsis "Corazón (in Spanish)"

Corazón es una de las obras más leídas a nivel mundial y un referente educativo para muchas generaciones. Desde su primera edición, en 1866, tuvo un gran éxito, y alcanzó las 41 ediciones a los dos meses y medio de su publicación. En el libro se cuentan, en forma de diario, las vivencias escolares de Enrique, un niño italiano originario de Turín. La clave de la novela está en narrar, con naturalidad y ternura, situaciones que suponen el crecimiento emocional del protagonista.“Demostrad que tenéis corazón; nuestra escuela será una familia, y vosotros mi consuelo y mi orgullo. No os pido que lo prometáis de palabra, porque estoy seguro de que en el fondo de vuestras almas ya lo habéis prometido, y os lo agradezco”.
