Francis with a tumultuous heart

A story for adults and children that illuminates the soul.

What makes this book special?
Centuries later, the powerful and luminous figure of Francis of Assisi continues to radiate light and positivity in a world that is often cynical and distant from essential values such as peace, kindness and solidarity. Francis with a tumultuous heart , part of the Gli Esoterini series, is a work that guides young and old on an intimate and symbolic journey, following the young Francis on his path of transformation: from a frivolous and tormented knight to the Saint of Assisi loved throughout the world.

A journey of growth and inner awakening
During the reading, accompanied by moments of reflection and imagination, the reader will experience the inner struggle of Francis during his imprisonment, a symbol of spiritual awakening. He will encounter his dialogues, his works and the timeless values that he embodies: simplicity, humility, love of nature and compassion for the least. A journey that will also inspire the reader to explore his own interiority and to grow with new eyes.

Why The Esoterini?
The series was born with a clear intent: to offer young people an alternative proposal to the most common narratives, stimulating imagination and reflection. With profound and compelling texts, Gli Esoterini help children and young people to consider divergent points of view and discover the value of interiority. Each book includes instructions for parents, to make reading a shared and special experience.

Art and uniqueness
The illustrations that embellish the book are by Paolo Tait, an established international artist. For the first time, Tait tries his hand at illustration, giving the book a unique and engaging visual imprint, the result of an exclusive personal collaboration.
