Víctor, un niño despierto y pobre, recorre las calles de París con su caja de limpiabotas. Es 1934. La ciudad luminosa le muestra el acomodado y lujoso mundo que le está prohibido. Cuando huye de su casa obligado por el maltrato de su tia Eugenie, le acogen dos pintores rusos. Con ellos conoce el Paris nocturno y bohemio, por donde transitan personajes tan peculiares como la reina de Montparnasse, los surrealistas o un escultor ciego. Todo cambia cuando conoce a Antoine, un niño rico. Su inesperada y profunda amistad les conducira a un desenlace tragico. Victor tratara de recuperar su amistad durante los siguientes años, asolados por la segunda guerra mundial. TEMA El tema central de esta novela es el del manifiesto contraste entre los elementos que una sociedad como la europea, y mas concretamente, la parisina del periodo de entreguerras (1919 / 1939), tuvo que soportar en los cimientos de sus estructuras, presionada por todos lados: la de los movimientos politicos mas radicales -como la llegada del fascismo-, las revoluciones obreras, la explosion de las vanguardias artisticas, el desembarco de cualquier aspirante a artista llegado hasta Paris desde los mas diversos lugares del mundo, contraste este que queda plenamente reflejado en las vidas de dos niños, uno, pobre, (Victor) y otro rico, (Antoine) que se cruzan y entrecruzan, desarrollandose entre ambos una amistad sublime que va mas alla de la muerte. Ademas de las injustas desigualdades sociales, y en otro orden de cosas, el texto hara reflexionar sobre el descubrimiento del arte en general y de la pintura, la escultura y la escritura en particular. Victor, ajeno a ellas, por su baja condicion social, hara de forma intuitiva y excelsa ese hallazgo, encontrandose para si y para sus compañeros con los verdaderos valores que el arte proporciona. Encuentro con el amor y, sobre todo, con la amistad, con la solidaridad en el dolor, con el compañerismo, y con el valor de la esperanza para poder afrontar las cosas en las situaciones mas extremas con alguna perspectiva de futuro seran otros temas que serviran para proyectar y desarrollar esta historia, dandole tintes claramente positivos, aun dentro de la tragedia, convirtiendo a esta en un mensaje, finalmente optimista. VALORES El valor de la amistad, nacida del dialogo, el respeto y la comprension, que hace que personas provenientes de mundos y clases sociales diferentes y opuestas se descubran, se aproximen, se conozcan, se ayuden, se entiendan, se protejan, se respeten y se quieran por encima de toda circunstancia y convencionalismo. El valor del Arte como concepto que engloba todas las creaciones humanas, y que nos sirve para mostrar una vision sensible acerca del mundo, ya sea real o imaginario, permitiendonos expresar ideas, emociones, percepciones y sensaciones. Proclamacion de la lectura como un vinculo que nos permite aprehender determinada informacion trasmitida por medio de ciertos codigos, como lo es el lenguaje. Apuesta decidida por la paz como formula maxima de convivencia, que nos invita mediante los pactos necesarios a rechazar cualquier tipo de conflicto o contratiempo.
