The elephant

The elephant is a classic of Russian literature by Aleksandr Ivanovic Kuprin, which has been translated into Italian for the first time now and illustrated by the very talented Riccardo Guasco. It’s the story of a little girl suffering a disease that has made her weak and loose her appetite. She asks her father an elephant, as the only thing that would make her feel better. Sasha, her father, tries his best to make her last wish come true and manages to bring home “little” Tomi, which turns out to have unexpected healing power.
