«El profesor de música» is the young adult novel by Yaël Hassan, published by Editorial Luis Vives (Edelvives) in paperback (120 pages, in Spanish).
Simón, a music teacher at a school, faces the start of the term caught between apathy and depression. The arrival of Malik, an Arab boy who wants to learn to play the violin, stirs up the memories that led Simón to abandon the instrument after the war. The bond between them restores his enthusiasm and shows music as a bridge between cultures.
The work belongs to the Alandar collection (no. 44) and was translated from French by Ana Mª Navarrete Curbelo. In 2001 it received the Saint-Exupéry Prize.
Aimed at readers aged 12 and over, interested in personal growth, interculturality and the role of music in memory.
