A book about the suffering of children victims of war or illness. In the 1990s Paolo Pellegrin went to meet the children of Bosnia after the war, then to meet the children of Romania affected by the HIV/AIDS virus, as well as in various African countries ravaged by the same disease, and he published this very first book in 1996 about these various reports.

Paolo Pellegrin, born in 1964 in Rome, belongs to the movement of “concerned photography,” of which Eugène Smith was one of the model figures, and he quickly became one of the most influential photographers of our time. Associated with Magnum Photos since 2001, he became a full member in 2005. The eminent art critic Germano Celant recently published a monumental anthology of Pellegrin's work, gathering nearly a thousand images.
