The Fishtail Brotherhood
19.99 €
A long-awaited new release from Nikolai Nazarkin, the author of a dozen books, whose "Emerald Fish" and "Tangerine Islands" have become classics of modern children's literature.
The protagonist of the new story is Jantje. His life changes when he turns 11. He receives his father's hat from his mother and moves from his home village to a port town, where he becomes an apprentice in a rope workshop. From morning until night, in the dust, he works on a complex machine. And, of course, he makes friends, with whom he enjoys fish tails in his free time. But suddenly it turns out that this smart and honest boy has made an enemy...
Despite the fact that this story immerses us in life in 17th-century Holland, it's an easy read: exciting adventures provide the backdrop for the hero's coming-of-age, and his desire to understand people and influence his future is relatable. The dynamic plot will appeal to both young and old alike.
Nikolay Nazarkin is a writer, bibliotherapist, and winner of the Zavetnaya Mechta, Kniguru, and Salamandra awards. He lived in the Netherlands for over 20 years, where he worked in a history museum.
