Книга: Fugitive Pieces (Anne Michaels) ; Gardners Books

In 1940 a boy bursts from the mud of a war-torn Polish city,where he has buried himself to hide from the soldiers who murdered his family.His name is Jakob Beer. He is only seven years old. And although by all rightshe should have shared the fate of the other Jews in his village, he has notonly survived but been rescued by a Greek geologist, who does not recognize theboy as human until he begins to cry. With this electrifying image, AnneMichaels ushers us into her rapturously acclaimed novel of loss, memory,history, and redemption. As Michaels follows Jakob across two continents, shelets us witness his transformation from a half-wild casualty of the Holocaustto an artist who extracts meaning from its abyss.Filled with mysterious symmetries and rendered inheart-stopping prose, Fugitive Pieces is atriumphant work, a book that should not so much be read as it should besurrendered to.
