In the Sea There are Crocodiles (Italian: Nel mare ci sono i coccodrilli) is a 2010 novel and the third book by Fabio Geda. It is loosely based on the life of Afghan refugee Enaiatollah Akbari and is taken from a series of interviews Geda conducted with Akbari. The novel follows Akbari from his birth in Afghanistan to his arrival in Italy.[1]
The book's release in the United States and Great Britain marks it as the first of Geda's works to be translated into English. Amnesty International UK has also recommended the book as a way to teach human rights to children.[2]
