'A magnificent small book to read urgently' Libération
Once upon a time in an enormous forest, there lived a poor woodcutter and his wife. Around them a war wages, and hunger is a constant companion. Yet every night, the woodcutter’s wife prays for a child.
A Jewish father rides on a train holding twin babies. His wife no longer has enough milk to feed both children. In hopes of saving them both, he wraps his daughter in a shawl and throws her into the forest.
While foraging for food, the woodcutter’s wife finds a bundle, a baby girl wrapped in a shawl. She knows that this little girl will be hunted, but she cannot ignore this gift: she will accept the precious cargo, and raise her as her own.
Set against the horrors of the Holocaust and told with a fairytale-like lyricism, The Most Precious of Cargoes is a fable about family and redemption which reminds us that humanity can be found in the most inhumane of places.
Sie sind überall und nirgendwo zu Hause, vor allem nirgendwo. Warum vor allem nirgendwo? Weil sie nirgendwo gemocht werden. Manche Leute behaupten - vor allem die, die eine runde Nase haben - sie mögen die Kellergeigers nicht, weil sie spitze Nasen hätten. Und die, die spitze Nasen haben, mögen die Kellergeiger nicht, weil sie runde Nasen hätten. Die Kellergeiger sind auch deshalb unbeliebt, weil sie zu groß oder zu klein sind oder zu normalgroß ...
Jedenfalls beschließen unsere Kellergeigers auszuwandern. Was nicht einfach ist. Aber diese Geschichte geht gut aus. Warum? Weil einige Geschichten doch auch ein gutes Ende haben müssen!
