Una història tendra que rememora la figura del pare de l'autor, un home alegre i emprenedor que és un apassionat de la pesca i dels animals en general. En general s'apassiona pel que fa i de vegades descuida i perd de vista les prioritats de la vida, sort n'hi ha de la constància de la mare que sempre està disponible a salvar les situacions difícils. En el marc previ i posterior a la Segona Guerra Mundial, el pare és jueu, la mare cristiana, ell és el petit de tres germans. Aquests van a parar als camps de concentració, mentre la família amb el germà petit s'amaga a les muntanyes en una cabana. Però l'autor tot hi recordar i emmarcar l'època històrica en guarda un bon record, el record del seu pare i les seves dèries. ( ) Un libro di ricordi, dei quadri di vita di una famiglia cecoslovacca, prima e dopo la guerra, con al centro la figura del padre, abilissimo venditore, altrettanto abile pescatore, simpatico guascone, amante delle belle donne, ma al tempo stesso attaccatissimo alla moglie e ai figli. E sullo sfondo la tragedia della guerra e i campi di sterminio. Il narratore è uno dei figli che conserva un sguardo fresco, e rievoca affettuosamente il tempo che fu. Un piccolo libro, con una sua grazia, al quale non sono del tutto certa che la traduzione abbia reso pienamente giustizia. This would be a great and interesting narrative of the author´s childhood in any way, but I feel here you get two perks in one. His writing style has an easy flow to it, he has the gift of drawing you in and you can nearly smell the water and share the sensation of a little boy who discovers the river and his great love for fishing. But as this is a also Czechoslovakia of the late 30s, and the family is half-jewish, between the pikes, eels and the river itself, many interesting personalities that live on the banks of Pavel´s beloved river Berounka and the adventures of his boysterous and wonderful father, there is also the entry of the Germans and all the persecutions that the family is facing during the war. The narrative of the every day life, and the hardships and little victories a jew could have, make this a book that everybody should read, in order to understand better. There are stories such as when the father risks everything in order to provide meat for his older sons before they are to go to concentration camp, or how he empties the pond of all the fish, fish that was meant to go to the Wehrmacht the night before his own transport, where I could hardly breathe and you cannot put the book down at any account before knowing that all will be well. Pavel is a great example of the great Czech storytellers, next to Čapek and Hrabal, and a joy to read. His love of life, nature and mankind shines through every word, and given what he must have experienced, this is something to admire in deed. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
