Více o knize

Set against the tumult of World War II, the story follows four refugees—musicians Elisabeth and Theodore Weissberg, young film extra Hilde, and political fugitive Vladek—as they escape Nazi Germany for the chaotic haven of Shanghai. This vibrant city, a blend of wealth and poverty, becomes a refuge for Jewish artists and intellectuals striving to maintain their dignity and culture amidst hardship. Angel Wagenstein weaves a gripping tale of survival, love, and resilience, exploring the human spirit in the face of adversity.
