Více o knize

The narrative follows journalist Jon Lurie and fifteen-year-old Jose Perez, who both grapple with personal crises and cultural disconnection. Lurie, a son of a Holocaust survivor, and Jose, a Lakota-Puerto Rican, embark on a transformative two-thousand-mile canoe trip inspired by Eric Arnold Sevareid's classic. Their adventure through challenging landscapes and societal issues becomes a profound journey of self-discovery, addressing themes of identity, heritage, and the impact of historical erasure, all conveyed through gritty and honest prose.
