The publisher writes: "She was the last to finish, and yet her photo went around the world. Millions were moved by the little Somali runner Samia and her iron will during the 2008 Olympic Games. But few people know that the young woman then received no more support in her civil war-torn homeland and set off on the long illegal journey to Europe. Her odyssey came to a tragic end off Lampedusa in 2012. Italian journalist Giuseppe Catozzella researched Samia's story and had long conversations with her sister, who lives in Finland. In simple and emotionally moving language, he brings Samia's world to life and gives the missing young woman a voice.Translated from the Italian by Myriam Alfano Original title: Non dirmi che hai paura Original publisher: Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore Srl Paperback, gatefold, 256 pages, 13.5 x 21.5 cm ISBN: 978-3-8135-0651-8 € 14.99 [D] | € 15.50 [A] | CHF 20.50* (* recommended retail price) Publisher: Knaus Published: 18.08.2014
