«De los niños nada se sabe» is the novel by Simona Vinci, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (192 pages, in Spanish).
A ten-year-old girl, Martina, observes the world with the absorbed gaze of someone trying to understand without asking questions. During a summer in the countryside of Granarolo and Emilia, a group of children stays far from the adults' gaze and ventures into increasingly extreme forbidden games, exploring the boundary between innocence and corruption. The story, told from the points of view of Martina, Matteo, Luca and Mirko, addresses the discovery of sex, of the body, and the horror of growing up.
The book belongs to the collection «Panorama de narrativas» (number 428). Originally published in 1997 under the title «Dei bambini non si sa niente», it was Simona Vinci's first novel and won the Elsa Morante Prize.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in unsettling stories about childhood and the loss of innocence.
