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.

Varsovia, Segunda Guerra Mundial, asedio nazi sobre los judíos polacos... En esta novela la historia nos habla de injusticias, de sufrimientos, de marginados y perseguidos.

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
