Krátky popis
From the best-selling and award-winning author of The Devil's
Arithmetic, Jane Yolen, comes her first Holocaust novel in nearly
thirty years. Influenced by Dr. Mengele's sadistic
experimentations, this story follows twins as they travel from the
Lodz ghetto, to the partisans in the forest, to a horrific
concentration camp where they lose everything but each other.It's
1942 in Poland, and the world is coming to pieces.At least that's
how it seems to Chaim and Gittel, twins whose lives feel like a
fairy tale torn apart, with evil witches, forbidden forests, and
dangerous ovens looming on the horizon. But in all darkness there
is light, and the twins find it through Chaim's poetry and the love
they have for each other. Like the bright flame of a Yahrzeit
candle, his words become a beacon of memory so that the children
and grandchildren of survivors will never forget the atrocities
that happened during the Holocaust.Filled with brutality and
despair, this is also a story of poetry and strength, in which a
brother and sister lose everything but each other.Nearly thirty
years after the publication of her award-winning and bestselling
The Devil's Arithmeticand Briar Rose, Yolen once again returns to
World War II and captivates her readers with the authenticity and
power of her words.Praise for Mapping the Bones:",Jane Yolen's
