Il non detto Unspoken

A Story From the Underground Railroad

Henry Cole

A young girl's courage is tested in this haunting, wordless story. When a farm girl discovers a runaway slave hiding in the barn, she is at once startled and frightened. But the stranger's fearful eyes weigh upon her conscience, and she must make a difficult choice. Will she have the courage to help him? Unspoken gifts of humanity unite the girl and the runaway as they each face a journey: one following the North Star, the other following her heart. Henry Cole's unusual and original rendering of the Underground Railroad speaks directly to our deepest sense of compassion.

Quando una ragazza di campagna scopre uno schiavo fuggiasco che si nasconde nel fienile, lei è al tempo stesso sorpresa e spaventata.
Ma lo sconosciuto dagli occhi timorosi
continua a pesare sulla sua coscienza,
e lei deve fare una scelta difficile.
Riuscirà a trovare il coraggio di aiutarlo?
