El niño del bosque

Maxwell Smart was only eleven years old when his entire family was murdered. He fled into the forest, dug a hole for shelter, and scavenged for food at nearby farms to survive. Clad in rags and on the brink of starvation, he repeatedly escaped death at the hands of the Nazis. After months of solitude, Maxwell met another boy, Janek—also an orphan—and the two soon became friends. One day, the boys discovered a baby, still alive, in the arms of her dead mother. Maxwell’s epic story reveals how a renowned painter emerged from the brutality of war to gift the world with beautiful works—a striking contrast to the horrors of his suffering. *The Boy in the Forest* is a remarkable historical account of an atrocious era that must never be forgotten.
