The book that moved millions of readers.

Dear reader,

Although the usual purpose of a text like this is to describe the features of the work, for once we will take the liberty of making an exception to the established rule. Not only because the book you hold in your hands is very difficult to define, but because we are convinced that explaining its content would spoil the reading experience. We believe it is important to start this novel without knowing what it is about.

However, if you decide to embark on the adventure, you should know that you will accompany Bruno, a nine-year-old boy, when he moves with his family to a house next to a fence. Fences like that exist in many places around the world; we just hope you never encounter one. Finally, it should be clarified that this book is not only for adults; children from the age of thirteen can also read it, and it would be advisable that they do.
