The Boy and His Friend the Blizzard

Více o knize

Told with unforgettable intensity, this is the story of an orphan boy making his way westward from Budapest. Meeting another wayfarer, a woman heavy with child, he shelters her and finds her food, relying on his friend the blizzard to protect them while he leads her to the safety of the west and the summer sea beyond it. Not since The Old Man and the Sea has there been so moving a parable of our fragile and indomitable species, building to such excruciating tension, so filled with pain and loss, yet leaving an afterglow of singular consolation.
