The Soul of the Violin
Throughout this beautiful book, inspired by the true story of Gaspar Borchardt, we will experience how magic, music, nature, and spirituality come together in the same story to leave us with a marvelous message.
A master craftsman in love with his work, whose creations are extraordinary, has a dream to fulfill: he wants to make the violin with the most exquisite wood in the world. Wood from a tree that seems more like a legend, located in almost extinct forests, will make this adventure a unique experience.
It won't be easy. Still, on the way to fulfilling his dream, the protagonist will leave us with a great lesson: love for the things we do, respect for nature, the value of art and music as a priceless heritage, and having the courage to pursue our dreams until we make them come true.
