From Egypt. Memoirs
19.99 €
Aciman's rich prose is populated by charming eccentrics and colorful wits: there's the grandfather—a proud, brave, and desperate rogue, a merchant and a spy; and then there are the grandmothers, who can gossip in six languages, and the aunt who fled Germany during World War II and remained convinced that Jews are destined to lose everything at least twice in their lives. And among this noisy family is a boy who longs to see the big world, but is completely unprepared for the exodus from Egypt. Fondly recalling the lost paradise of his childhood, Aciman gives the reader a true adventure novel, elegant and witty.
