I chose to read this book because, being a linguist and a translator, I was intrigued by the title and the synopsis. It’s a wonderful, suspenseful and moving story of surviving first the Nazis and then the secret Soviet police, and how languages (the protagonist spoke 9 languages!) open up new worlds and possibilities. Every language can help you create a new life. Highly recommended. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"When I was arrested my whole world crumbled. I knew that leaders of political parties had been arrested, and never heard from again. My only chance at survival was to find a way to escape from the jail." Orphaned in Poland at the age of thirteen, Tadeusz "Tad" Haska survived World War II on the run, narrowly evading the Nazis every step of the way. After the war, he daringly escaped jail by the Soviet Secret Police, fled to Sweden and launched an elaborate plan to smuggle his wife in a coffin on an all-male naval ship. Discover how Tad's knowledge of nine languages helped him survive in the face of unspeakable adversity. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
