New Releases by Uri Orlev

Poutavý příběh pro děti od 8 let od držitele Ceny Hanse Christiana Andersena Co byste si přáli zažít ze všeho nejvíc? Hrdina naší knížky vždycky snil o tom stát se lvem a jeho nejlepší kamarád měl stejný sen. Často si o lvech povídali a v jednom kuse si na ně hráli. Vymýšleli, jak se spolu domluví, pokud se někdo z nich jednou lvem stane. Když k tomu ale skutečně dojde a náš hrdina se doopravdy promění ve lva, vyrojí se spousta nečekaných potíží: místo mluvení svede jen řvát a neohrabanou tlapou si nezvládne ani otevřít dveře. Jak svoji proměnu vysvětlí mámě, která už není nejmladší? A nejhorší ze všeho je, že jeho nejlepší kamarád, se kterým spřádal sny o lvech, už nerozumí lví řeči, kterou kdysi společně vymysleli.

Questa è la storia di Eliusha, cinque anni, che all''inizio della Seconda guerra mondiale si trasferisce con la sua famiglia dalla cittadina in cui vive nell''Unione Sovietica in una zona desolata del Kazakistan. Mentre suo padre raggiunge l''esercito russo per combattere contro i nazisti, Eliusha e la sua famiglia devono affrontare la nuova vita in un villaggio sperduto, dove gli abitanti hanno abitudini completamente diverse dalle loro. Gli inizi sono duri, ma Eliusha lentamente conquista l''amicizia dei coetanei. Quando finisce la guerra, la madre decide di intraprendere un lungo e pericoloso viaggio, e di trasferirsi in Israele, la terra che molti chiamano ''casa''. Così il piccolo è catapultato nella vita di uno dei primi kibbutz, simbolo della nascita dello Stato di Israele. Ispirato a una vicenda vera come Corri ragazzo, corri, il nuovo romanzo di Uri Orlev è un''avventura densa di emozioni, ma anche una fonte preziosa per conoscere la Storia più recente e l''impatto che ogni guerra produce sulla vita di adulti e bambini innocenti.

1942: il Ghetto di Varsavia attraverso gli occhi di un bambino. Un''insolita storia di sogni, paure, giochi e poesia. «L''Olocausto è la mia infanzia e c''erano molte cose belle e divertenti allora, che non si possono avere se si cresce invece in tempo di pace. [...] Volevo scrivere di un bambino nel ghetto che diventa una sorta di Robinson Crusoe in una città vuota: per sopravvivere prende dalle altre case ciò che gli serve come Robinson prendeva dai relitti di altre navi sospinte sulla spiaggia dalle onde». Uri Orlev

Written with a quiet simplicity that wins the reader over at once Uri Orlev writes in a style so sure and yet so unassuming that it is certain to linger in reader’s minds long after turning the last page.
