«Ganesh» is the young adult novel by Malcolm J. Bosse, published by Salvat in paperback (222 pages, in Spanish).
Ganesh, a young Indian, must leave his home after a tragedy and start a new life in the American Midwest. There, his beliefs, based on Hinduism, yoga and mantras, seem strange to those around him; the protagonist will have to find his place between loneliness and culture shock.
Published in 1988. Number 69 of Salvat's Biblioteca Juvenil collection, with translation by Héctor Silva and illustrations by Fuencisla del Amo.
For young adult readers, this novel addresses uprooting and culture shock with a perspective close to the protagonist's experience.
