Dr. Pietro Bartolo, who runs the lone medical clinic on the island, has been caring for many of them--both the living and the dead--for a quarter century. Tears of Salt is Dr. Bartolo's moving account of his life and work set against one of the signal crises of our time. With quiet dignity and an unshakable moral center, he tells unforgettable tales of pain and hope, stories of those who didn't make it and those who did. Tears of Salt is a lasting work of literature and an intimate portrait of a remarkable man whose inspiring message rings clear: 'We can't and we won't be governed by our fears; Lágrimas de sal es el conmovedor relato de la actual tragedia migratoria que se vive en las aguas del mediterráneo, pero es ante todo una historia de coraje, compromiso, dignidad y amor que no dejará a nadie indiferente ER -
