Sobrevivió y no se deja pisar. Henning Mankell ha conocido a Sofía y son amigos cercanos. Sofía corre a través de la noche. Está oscuro y tiene mucho miedo. Corre por un camino que pasa entre arbustos y zarzales. No ve el camino, pero lo recuerda, sus pies saben dónde gira y dónde sigue recto. ¿Qué es lo que persigue en la oscuridad? ¿Un animal que ni siquiera tiene ojos? Debe esconderse, salir del camino y encogerse, hacerse pequeña entre la maleza. Da un salto como ha visto hacer a los antílopes y abandona el suelo. Y entonces ya lo sabe... Based on the true story of a young girl named Sofia whose family was run out of its village in war-torn Mozambique. Sofia, her sister Maria and mother Lydia resettle in a village of other refugees. But Maria dies from injuries from a landmine that Sofia accidentally set off. Sofia herself loses both her legs and must stay in the city to recover and learn to use her artificial legs. She returns to the village only to find her mother has taken up with a man who drinks and could care less about Sofia. Sofia flees to the city and takes a sewing job. Totio, a tailor she knew from the refugee village, tracks her down and offers her an opportunity: he has gotten too old to sew anymore and wishes to give her his sewing machine and hut back in the village. Sofia accepts and starts a new life. Sehr traurig, sehr beeindruckend, aber auch sehr bedrückend, wenn diese Geschichte in der Dichte wirklich vorgekommen sein soll, wie Manlll es zu Beginn betont. Abstrakt weiß man ja irgendwie, dass es Minenfelder gibt und nach wie vor Menschen Gließmaßen verlieren, aber dass auch alle weiteren Lebensumstände so schwierig sind (schlechte Versorgung, Armut, Gewalt, Räuberbanden, Hunger, Flucht, stimmt traurig und es scheint keinen Ausweg aus diesem Leben zu geben. Sofia, ein afrikanisches Kind,muss viel ertragen und sieht doch etwas Hoffnung in der Zukunft für sich und ihre Familie. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

It is the wise old woman of the village who teaches young Sofia about the secrets in the fire. Within the flames hide all things past and all things yet to be. But not even old Muazena can see the horrors the fire holds for Sofia and her family--not the murderous bandits who drive them from their home, and not the landmine that takes Sofia's legs. In her long journey toward recovery, Sofia must still deal with growing up. Along the way, she discovers friends, and foes, in places she'd never expected. Through it all, Sofia draws on a strength she never knew she had, a fire of her own that's been a secret all along. In beautifully spare, unsentimental language, Henning Mankell's stunning novel puts a very human face on the suffering in Africa. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
