In Inocencio and the divine child the grandfather, who was born in the Old Continent and crossed oceans to settle in an unknown land, fills the role of the wise who knows the secrets of the cosmos and the meaning of life. The old man’s knowledge, unparalleled among men, is what Inocencio carries with him when the invisible hand of destiny tears him up from the paradise he lives in and takes him to the big city.
The best moments in our lives generally arise in the hours of crisis, when we feel deeply disturbed, sad or unfulfilled. It is in such moments that, impelled by our own distress, we leave the beaten track in pursuit of truer answers.
Who am I? What is my task? What am I doing here on Earth?
Inocencio awakens and leaves behind the security of his home to undertake a long and difficult journey unknown-bound in search of his identity. All this so that he he may surpass himself and find real happiness, for no one can be truly happy unless he is devoted to something greater than himself. Written in the same lyrical and captivating style of Inocencio and the divine child, the book has illustrations created by Anna Luiza Bellucci.
STATEMENTS
“Happy are those who read Inocencio and the divine child, where we come across a feast of fundamental knowledge of universal laws, which kindle within everyone the divine spark that keeps us attached to the Creator. The redemption of this spark is the privilege that The Awakening of Inocencio offers us as we follow his path - full of memories left by the grandfather’s knowledge - and allow this feeling to dominate us, whilst we ponder over human beings true values.”
Leda M. Maddázio - cabala numerologist
“When I met Inocencio I was assured that there is a divine spark that impels us to go on looking for what we dream of. The unchangeable harmony between Inocencio and nature leads me to believe that only through equilibrium does the human being accomplish himself and find serenity. The author shows us through his singular and delicate work, The Awakening of Inocencio, that, from the moment that we believe we are capable, this road is possible. However, for it to happen first of all there must be a dream".
Maria Teresinha Nascimento - psychologist
“In the first stages of Inocencio’s saga, Valdi masterfully portrays a great universal truth: the essential is simple. The Illuminated One, in the figure of Inocencio’s grandfather Pietro, has acquired that wisdom by feeling life deeply. He has experienced the Sacred in contemplating men and nature. His knowledge, revealed in the unsuspected pace, in the receptive glance, in a stern but open-hearted speech, will strengthen Inocencio in his heroic task of life.”
Gilda Telles – Instructress of Contemplation, Therapist and Journalist
“The Awakening of Inocencio concerns those who seek to learn from life, mainly from Nature and its consonance. Each discovery produces a new element that is put to the test.
Life’s experience makes Inocencio learn and grow, opening the path in his search for spiritual and human development. Since we are always learning, perhaps Inocencio can bring us a little light and hope, who knows?”
Eduardo Puperi - musician and composer
“The force and the power of the imagination become clear only when we look into the depths of the heart. He who looks to the external world dreams and he who looks inwards awakens. In The Awakening of Inocencio, the author paints with lyricism of unquestionable talent an atmosphere of love and virtues, inspired by the divine spark that he aims to redeem in each one of us.”
Eneide Menezes - plastic artist
SYNOPSIS
“I am, I exist,” thinks Inocencio, pinching himself to be sure he is not dreaming. He is assured that his body is real and that there is life in it, becoming conscious of his existence.
From now on he spends his time savoring the knowledge of his grandfather, a venerable wise man who is the receptacle of ancient wisdom and sower of universal truths brought from the Old Continent, where he was born, and who leads Inocencio to awaken to Nature, to find its essence, to understand his place in the universe and his relation with the All.
This immortal knowledge permeates the book, finding practical expression in the behavior of the grandfather and the knowledge that he passes on to the community and to the boy, preparing him for the great journey of life. Written in a lyrical and captivating style, the book has illustrations created by Anna Luiza Bellucci.
STATEMENTS
“This book is a ‘living canvas’ painted by an artist who knows how to evoke with vibrant colors all that he lived, saw, felt and dreamed in his innocent soul as an intelligent and illuminated child.”
Norma Oléa – Professor.
“The true simplicity reflected in the development of the events in Inocencio and the divine child transported me back to my childhood and left me asking:
How will our youth feel when they read this treasure?”
Walmeria Viegas da Silva – Plastic Artist.
“Tired of so many ‘value inversions’ the reader will find in the pages of Inocencio and the divine child a great lesson of life that touches us all with its innocence and hope. The book is the account of a childhood rich in moral values, a poem that penetrates deeply into the heart. It is a treasure to be read preferably under a tree, on vacation, looking out to the sea, or in the silence of the night.
Valderez Escobar – Writer.
“The water springs from the source of Hermes Trismegistus, the flour comes from the Essene, and the salt from the wisdom of the ancients.
With these ingredients the author adds his leaven, and presents us with a book that nurtures the soul at this moment when the human being withdraws himself more and more from feeling and intuition.”
Maria Teresinha Nascimento – Psychotherapist.
“The author is a philosopher of unquestionable culture and spiritual wisdom. His work throws us in a whole of situations hardly found in similar works. Speaking of Mother Earth, he recites it in prayers like priests swearing their sacred oaths. The magic force of Inocencio and the divine child will awaken not only the souls of grandsons and grandfathers but also certainly the souls of our youths, our adults, fathers who were sons and will be grandfathers, to a profound and moving meditation about life."
