   The Eyes of the Siberian Dog (Los Ojos del Perro Siberiano in Spanish)  is                                        a book written in march of 1998 by Antonio Santa Ana,

  an Argentinian writer, about a adolescent who is preparing to travel to U.S.A.

  He starts to tell his story, which starts when he had 5 years.

"There are things that it is better just do not talk", this is that the mother and father of Ezequiel says, but his little brother thinks different and he want to know what is happen, when Ezequiel leave the house because he is sick and one part of the family decides ignore him, and pretend that he does not exist.

His brother try to know why, and this story is about his search, with a lot of memories and experiences with the innocence that  just a boy can have during his childhood.

This book surprise us with the metric and metaphors, every word have a incredible sense, and every detail is important for this play. 

The Bach suites, the books that are mentioned and reading by the narrator have a little touch of sensibility that just the readers can notice. Santa Ana catch the emotion of the unknown things, the incomprehensibly significance of the things that have repercussions in the childhood and after,

manifest during the adulthood. 

Personally this book means a lot, indicate the feeling who one have when something change abruptly.

A classic Latin juvenile book, with more than 400.000 copy and translated into Italian.
