Phenomenon editorial in Europe, The boy with striped pajamas, the Irish John Boyne (Dublin, 1971), has touched millions of readers around the world.
Translated into 22 languages and best-seller in several countries, the book is about to adapt for the cinema.
Boyne replantea here the issue of anti-Semitism during the Second World War, giving voice to a German boy of nine years, narrator of this impressive novel.
Little Bruno is the son of a senior official of the SS, who has been transferred to Auschwitz. The entire family now lives in front of the concentration camp assigned to the father of Bruno. There, will meet another child, Shmuel, the striped pajamas.
All rightly The boy with striped pajamas offers an original narrative style, both in its language and by their shapes and gestures with the words: elementary logic that ignores contexts, the vision of children? Close and inexperienced? and, above all, ingenuity.
Amid rife with stories formal and substantive topics, this young writer gives a twist to the theme of the Holocaust with the child in striped pajamas, a novel that touched the soul of readers.
