The Little Liar de Mitch Albom

The Little Liar

Autor Mitch Albom
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2023

La prima vedere, „The Little Liar” ar putea părea încă o cronică istorică despre ororile celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, însă, pe măsură ce parcurgem paginile, descoperim o meditație profundă și aproape metafizică despre integritatea sufletului uman. Apreciem modul în care Mitch Albom părăsește decorurile contemporane pentru a ne transporta în Salonica anului 1943, unde un copil de unsprezece ani, Nico, devine instrumentul involuntar al unei tragedii de proporții. Remarcăm aici o schimbare de registru: dacă în The Five People You Meet In Heaven autorul explora sensul vieții post-mortem, în acest roman el analizează greutatea insuportabilă a supraviețuirii marcate de vinovăție. Stilul este cel cu care Albom și-a obișnuit publicul — empatic, liric și încărcat de învățăminte morale — însă aici miza pare mult mai aspră. Narațiunea nu se oprește la eliberare, ci urmărește ecourile unei singure minciuni de-a lungul deceniilor, demonstrând cum adevărul devine prima victimă a conflictului. Pe același raft cu My Father had this Luger ... A true story of Hitler's Greece de Evangelos Louizos, cartea se distinge prin dimensiunea sa alegorică și prin focalizarea pe procesul interior de mântuire, mai degrabă decât pe detaliul pur documentar. Este o explorare tulburătoare a modului în care deciziile luate sub teroare modelează identitatea unei întregi vieți, păstrând totodată acea notă de speranță specifică operei lui Albom, regăsită și în recentul Twice.

Descriere scurtă

Beloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with a powerful novel that moves from a small village in Greece during the Holocaust, to America, where the intertwined lives of three survivors are forever changed by the perils of deception and the grace of redemption.
Eleven-year-old Nico Crispi never told a lie. When the Nazi's invade his home in Salonika, Greece, the trustworthy boy is discovered by a German officer, who offers him a chance to save his family. All Nico has to do is convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading towards ?the east? where they are promised jobs and safety. Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy goes to the station platform every day and reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. But when the final train is at the station, Nico sees his family being loaded into a large boxcar crowded with other neighbors. Only after it is too late does Nico discover that he helped send the people he loved?and all the others?to their doom at Auschwitz.
Nico never tells the truth again.
In The Little Liar, his first novel set during the Holocaust, Mitch Albom interweaves the stories of Nico, his brother Sebastian, and their schoolmate Fanni, who miraculously survive the death camps and spend years searching for Nico, who has become a pathological liar, and the Nazi officer who radically changed their lives. As the decades pass, Albom reveals the consequences of what they said, did, and endured.
A moving parable that explores honesty, survival, revenge and devotion, The Little Liar is Mitch Albom at his very best. Narrated by the voice of Truth itself, it is a timeless story about the harm we inflict with our deceits, and the power of love to ultimately redeem us.

A moving new novel from the beloved author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven

When the Nazis invade his home in Salonika, Greece, a German officer offers eleven-year-old Nico Krispis a chance to save his family. Nico must convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading 'north', where safety and protection awaits.

But when the final train is loaded, Nico sees his family being herded into a boxcar. Only then does he realise that he has helped send them, and everyone he knew, to their doom at Auschwitz. Nico escapes but he never tells the truth again.

In The Little Liar, Nico's story is interweaved with those of his family, friends and even the Nazi officer who changed their lives. Through the war years and the decades that follow, Albom reveals the consequences of their decisions, eventually bringing them back to where it all started.

The Little Liar is a timeless tale of the harm we inflict with our deceits, and the power of love to redeem us.

fate of Greek Jews during World War II packs a particular punch

A story whose full scope, like a distant image coming into focus through a lens, sharpens with each turn of the page. As with all Albom books, the pages turn quickly. For most, this is a book that will be read in just one or two sittings. But no matter how long it takes, it will stay with you . . . Albom has created art that can be added to the long list of movies, music, theater and books that are humanity's best hope to deliver on the words inscribed on memorials around the world: "Never Forget."
