«Una mà plena d'estels» is the young adult novel by Rafik Schami, published by Alfaguara in paperback (200 pages).
An anonymous Syrian teenager recounts in his diary, written in Damascus between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, the life of a baker's son and his aspiration to become a journalist. Achieving it brings him closer to those who oppose his country's dictatorship. The work, with autobiographical touches, shows everyday life in the Arab world and challenges stereotypes.

Aimed at young readers aged 12 and up and at those seeking fiction with historical and social background.
