"They were empty expressions, while at the same time full of desperation." This novel of Clemens Schlettwein has been defined by Steven Jenkins as "A beautiful story; tough, inspiring, but above all, an outcry for the ethical treatment of animals. A powerful message destined to elevate the best and most profound aspects of the reader's conscience." With fast and lively strokes, the author describes the journey, internal and external, of Hair, in a world where, just like in ours, love, pain and adventure overlap in many layers. A canvass that encompasses reality and mystery, crossing always through the spirit that aspires to calmness among the inexplicable confusion, which, being a reality, can hardly be understod. Without doubt, many readers will feel identified with the iniciatory journey of Hair. A journey which, once stripped of its fantasy, destills in us a sense of fraternity that should cheer us on, and that will not wither even in the face of brutal confrontation with pure horror.
