Reading The Hummingbird is not just a moving experience: it's almost like a therapy session, a lesson in persevering, in letting go of guilt to find ourselves again.

Long considered one of Italy's leading writers, Sandro Veronesi has re-written the family saga. Ardent, gripping, and inventive to the core, it has already been hailed a classic. Jhumpa Lahiri, Author
 
The Hummingbird portrays a subtle and intriguing political vision, depicting the reach of history into the lives of people we might well believe are outside history's notice.
Richard Ford

Marco Carrera, who had a growth disorder as a child, has been called 'the hummingbird'. But in a sense Marco is a hummingbird: he lives a dramatic life, full of love and heartbreak, but remains in perfect balance. His movements enable him to survive the existential acrobatics of life, just like a hummingbird.

Desde niño, Marco Carrera, que tuvo un trastorno del crecimiento cuando era niño, ha sido llamado 'el colibrí'. Pero en cierto sentido Marco es realmente un colibrí: vive una vida dramática, llena de alegrías, amor, esperanza, risa y desamor, pero también se mantiene en perfecto equilibrio. Sus movimientos frenéticos le permiten sobrevivir a las acrobacias existenciales de la vida, como un colibrí, que hace de doce a ochenta aleteos por segundo, pero permanece suspendido en el aire, aparentemente inmóvil. En esta novela seguimos sin aliento la vida de Marco Carrera, un héroe de nuestro tiempo. Una hermosa historia sobre el dolor y el poder agonizante de la vida.
