The Silence That Lives in a Guitar

By Phạm Thành Long

Introduction

The Silence That Lives in a Guitar is the Vietnamese edition of a deeply personal journey-a story not of music, but of the quiet hidden beneath it. This book explores how a small wooden guitar, brought into the life of a seven-year-old boy in the rural North of Vietnam during the 1970s, became a refuge, a compass,
and a doorway into the stillness that shaped his inner world.
While the English edition (The Stillness of The Guitar) carries a Western rhythm, this Vietnamese edition keeps the soil, the breath, and the heaviness of the Red River Delta.
It is softer, deeper, and rooted in memories only a child of that land can understand.
This book is not about learning guitar. It is about learning yourself-through sound, through silence, and through the small tremors that only a quiet instrument can awaken.
