Omtale; Fiolinen fra Auschwitz av Maria Àngels Anglada

For en stund siden leste jeg den historiske romanen Fiolinen fra Auschwitz av Maria Àngels Anglada og i dag kommer omtalen av boka.

Beskrivelse fra forlaget
En uforglemmelig historie fra andre verdenskrig, om en mann som nekter å overgi sin verdighet i møte med historiens største grusomheter

Krakow 1991: En eldre kvinne spiller på en fiolin med en helt særegen, vakker klang. Hennes unge musikerkollega blir fullstendig bergtatt av det han hører, og kvinnen forteller at instrumentet har en spesiell historie ...

Auschwitz 1944: Den polske jøden Daniel er helt nedbrutt av alle pinslene han og de andre fangene utsettes for. Minnet om kvinnen han elsker blir svakere for hver dag, og håpet om en fremtid blir stadig mindre. Men så avsløres Daniels fortid som en dyktig fiolinbygger, og en av leirkommandantene setter ham på en hard prøve: Daniel må reparere en ødelagt fiolin og få den til å lyde like vakkert som før. Hvis han mislykkes, får leirens ondskapsfulle lege lov til å bruke Daniel til sine grusomme eksperimenter. Daniel er fullstendig utmattet og kan når som helst bryte sammen, men han prøver å finne tilbake til sine tapte kunster - både for kunstens skyld og for å redde sitt eget liv ...

Mine tanker om boka
Fiolinen fra Auschwitz er en kort, men allikevel rørende bok om menneskeskjebner og musikkens påvirkning. Det er i hvert fall en bok som bør leses.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
