Sobre IBD

Esta es la emotiva historia de Christy Brown, un valiente chico nacido en 1933 con una parálisis cerebral. Inmovilizado por la enfermedad, desde niño albergaba la inteligencia y la imaginación de un escritor, y llegaría a figurar entre los grandes de la literatura irlandesa contemporánea. En este relato autobiográfico, rememora sus esfuerzos casi sobrehumanos por aprender a leer y a pintar, e incluso a escribir a máquina con la única parte de su cuerpo que podía controlar: los dedos de su pie izquierdo.Ofrece un ejemplo de gran valor y un mensaje de esperanza, pero también un testimonio de amor: la entrega y cariño de su familia y de su médico, que alentaron siempre sus ganas de vivir. Su vida fue llevada al cine, y obtuvo varios Óscar. 10
