Beskrivning
Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us . . .Nine-year-old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution and the Holocaust. He is oblivious to the appalling cruelties being inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has been moved from a comfortable home in Berlin to a house in a desolate area where there is nothing to do and no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence and who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas.Bruno's friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation. And in exploring what he is unwittingly a part of, he will inevitably become subsumed by the terrible process.

Recensioner i media

An account of a dreadful episode, short on actual horror but packed with overtones that remain in the imagination. Plainly and sometimes archly written, it stays just ahead of its readers before delivering its killer punch in the final pages

  1. 5/5 Karin

    Eftersom jag inte vill avslöja handlingen säger jag bara: Läs den och tänk på det som sker. Hjärtat gråter, långt efteråt!

  2. 4/5 Anette

    Fin beskrivning av två pojkars vänskap med helt olika förutsättningar. Gav viktiga perspektiv! En bok som stannar kvar! Bra uppläsare med inlevelse.

  3. 5/5 Jennifer

    Älskar den här boken!
    Att få vara med i andra världskriget genom en ung kille som inte riktigt förstår allt gör saken väldigt spännande.

  4. 4/5 Camilla

    Denna bok, eller kanske snarare novell, läste vi som en del av min engelskakurs. En berättelse som var lättläst, spännande och lämnade gott om utrymme för egna tankar och frågor kring innehållet. En läsvärd historia jag själv skulle kunnat välja även om den inte varit en del av min språkkurs!
