Hardcover. Condition: As New. Tom Michell, mlady ucitel anglictiny, zaziva v poperonovskej Argentine necakane dobrodruzstvo. Nebolo to ale odvazne spoznavanie latinskoamerickych krajin, na ktore sa tolko tesil. Jeho zivot zmeni smer, ked pocas vyletu v Uruguaji zachrani tucniaka spinaveho od ropy a dechtu, leziaceho na pobrezi plnom mrtvych vtakov. Ocisti ho a chce ho vratit do mora, kam patri. Tucniak s tym vsak nesuhlasi. V tom momente sa zacina ich spolocna cesta. Ked sa vrati do skoly s tucniakom, vsetci sa o nich dozvedia a Juan Salvador sa dostane do centra pozornosti - bude z neho maskot skolskeho timu, dovernik domacej, spoluhostitel Tomovych party a instruktor plavania. Napriek tazkym casom peronistickej vlady, hrozivej ekonomike a politickym bojom v Argentine, Juan Salvador vsetkych okolo seba rozveseluje. Michell dal tucniakovi meno Juan Salvado, co znamena zachraneny - napokon sa vsak ukaze, ze prave Juan Salvado zachranil Toma Michella.
