source Just a glance on a book is enough to say that this is a story for kids. Indeed, this book was awarded in category – literature for children. But I think this kind of literature can teach adults as well. And “Pax” is definitely one of these books that can teach everyone. The story is about a boy – Peter and his best friend Pax that is a fox. We don’t know anything about a place where action takes place, just that there is a war. Peter’s father goes to the army and the boy has to live with his grandfather, who he hates, and also he has to leave Pax. According to Peter’s dad – the fox has to come back to the wood.

This is definitely a woman fiction. “The Girl you left behind” shows us that the woman are strong and powerful. And they were like that ages ago, we just have to see this. When I was reading it, Liv’s storyline was sometimes boring to me, Sophie was more cour...

"Le Getto  intérieur" written by Santiago H. Amigorena was one of the candidates for the Gouncourt Prize this year. Maybe the way of writing the book is not the best, but story is worth to read because of topic. "Le Getto intérieur" is a war and biographical novel. The author describes the story of his grandfather - Wincenty Rosenberg, who is the main hero of the novel. As we had the opportunity to read in many descriptions, this novel Amigoren breaks the silence regarding the traumatic events of World War II. source The main character is Wincenty Rosenberg, a young Pole, a Jew who emigrated to Argentina before the war, leaving his mother and siblings in Poland. In Buenos Aires, she met her future wife - Rosita, also a Jew and an immigrant. Regarding Vicente's pre-war life, we don't know much, although the narrator sometimes shows us events from the life of a man, such as the fight against the Bolsheviks led by Piłsudski or starting legal studies in...
