THE BOY WHO WAS NEVER EVER QUIET

This is a book about desire, the desire to learn more, to always go farther and farther; because man is a strange desiring animal that is never pleased and holds, deep in his chest, a disproportionate ambition to reach beyond. It is the only animal that builds desires over desires, over other desires and yet, as soon he reaches them, he finds himself chasing a new desire, leaving behind the one he has just reached. And this kid who desires more than all men, will also be able to achieve his dreams, with stubborn company, always shining at his side.
