Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
When a Berlin church decides to give refuge to fugitive Jews, they must hide this from the pastor's teenaged son, Kristopher, who is an ardent Hitler Youth. Eventually the church is betrayed, and the pastor and his family are sent to a slave labor camp where Hitler's V-1 and V-2 rockets are being assembled. Several months pass before the pastor discovers that one of the scientists in charge of the rocket facility is Dr. Otto von Kemp, a former member of his Berlin church; but von Kemp is unable to get his pastor released because he has secrets of his own that he must keep hidden from the Nazis. When Von Kemp's daughter, Hannah, learns that her childhood sweetheart, Kristopher, is interned with his family in one of the labor camps, she persuades her father to put him to work as a gardener on their rented estate. However, Kristopher's bitterness - plus Hannah's infatuation with him- inevitably leads to a sexual encounter between the two that changes all their lives 25 years later.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Author: Mark Haddon
Publisher: Anchor Canada
ISBN: 0307371565
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
A bestselling modern classic—both poignant and funny—narrated by a fifteen year old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions. Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher’s carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour’s dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents’ marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher’s mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon’s choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.

RecordCovid19
Author: Kristopher Lovell
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110731002
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
RecordCovid19. Historicizing Experiences of the Pandemic provides insights into the experience of the Covid19 pandemic from an historical and sociological perspective. Using the first-hand testimonies submitted as part of the #RecordCovid19 project as its inspiration, the chapters in this edited collection explore and contextualise the initial responses to the Covid19 pandemic. The collection examines people’s relationships with Covid19 as an historical event, including their own experiences of living through history; their relationship with their surroundings, including their relationships with family, the soundscapes and the emotional environments of a pandemic world; the impact and tone of political rhetoric, including the use (and misuse) of wartime myths and language in the United Kingdom; and finally, what lessons can be learnt from how people discuss their own personal stories and what lessons can we draw from previous examples of storytelling in moments of crisis. The result is a fascinating and rich discussion derived from an archive full of idiosyncratic experiences of life changing during the Covid19 pandemic.
