The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Innocence meets tragedy in World War II tale.

If poignancy wrapped in a child's innocence interests you, consider "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas." The journey through Bruno’s eyes offers a profound perspective on friendship and the ignorance of childhood amid the horrors of the Holocaust. It's a read that's bound to leave a lasting impact, stirring deep emotions as it reveals the stark realities of history through a narrative that's both gentle and devastating.

Description

The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about. If you do start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno. And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. We hope you never have to cross such a fence.
