The First World War unexpectedly separates Angelos, 16 years old, and his 12-year-old brother from their parents. Angelos promises to take his little brother back to their mother, but he is dragged as a hostage to the enemy's land, loses him, and new adventures begin. Now anxious about the fate of the little one, he recognizes him in the face of every child in need. Will he truly find him again, though? Will he take him back to their mother, as he had promised? The Little Brother is based on real events that took place in Macedonia from 1916 to 1918. [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
