Devoted much attention to the book, which is particularly suitable for young people Iqbal Francesco D'Adamo.Book Francesco D'Adamo is the true story of twelve-year-old boy from Pakistan - Iqbal Masih, who the world has become a symbol of the fight against the exploitation of child labor.
Raised in a poor peasant family, he was fired by his father into slave labor in exchange for $ 16, required the father to pay the obligation on the debt for the treatment of terminally ill second son. Iqbal worked - just like millions of children in the poorest countries of the world - from sunrise to new in inhumane conditions in the carpet factory, chained to their looms.
At just 11 years he found the strength to rebel, to believe that life can be different. His tenacity and courage contributed to the release of hundreds of other young slaves, though it came m to pay the highest price.
It is a very touching story about the indomitable struggle to regain freedom, the struggle with their own fears, about the struggle for a new tomorrow, a hope in hopelessness. He moves very well known in Poland, and very widely discussed in the world, the massive use of children in slave labor, children deprived of a normal life, love, carefree.
