Description

"Dear God, my name is Oscar, I am ten years old, I have set fire to the cat, the dog, the house (if I am not mistaken, I have even cooked the goldfish), and this is the first time I am writing to you because until today, due to school, I haven't had time.

I will tell you right away: I hate to write. To write, I have to really be forced to do it; because writing is a garland and an ornament and a silk ribbon. What else is writing but a beautified lie? Writing is for adults."

    Truly one of the most beautiful books I have read. Ideal for a gift even though it is very small in size, but definitely BIG in meaning and lessons. It is a book that you can read in one hour or less, but throughout that time you stop from emotion and to realize what you read. I recommend it to everyone, to both young and old.

    The 12-day diary with letters from little Oscar to God.
    It can be read in half an hour and contains as many condensed meanings as few books with ten times the number of pages.
    It is worth reading and having it in your library 100%.
    For me, one of the best small books (of half an hour), along with "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" by Dostoevsky.
    10/10.
