«Una mà plena d'estels» is the novel by Rafik Schami, published by RBA La Magrana in paperback (200 pages, in Catalan).
The novel takes the form of the diary of a Syrian teenager, whose name is never revealed, written in Damascus between the ages of fourteen and seventeen. The protagonist dreams of becoming a journalist and, despite family pressure, succeeds; that profession brings him into contact with those who resist his country's dictatorial regime.
The Catalan edition of this work appeared in 2000 in the L'Esparver collection. The German title of «Una mà plena d'estels» is «Eine Hand voller Sterne».
Its teenage protagonist and political backdrop make it appealing to a young adult and adult audience interested in social narrative.
