Alan Gratz

    27. január 1972

    Alan Gratz sa zameriava na napínavé historické a dobrodružné príbehy, ktoré často skúmajú témy odvahy, prežitia a hľadania identity. Jeho próza je známa svojím svižným tempom a pútavým rozprávaním, ktoré čitateľa vtiahne do stredu akcie. Gratz majstrovsky prepája historické fakty s fiktívnymi postavami, čím vytvára diela, ktoré sú nielen zábavné, ale aj vzdelávacie. Jeho schopnosť písať pre mladých dospelých čitateľov aj pre širšie publikum z neho robí významného autora súčasnej literatúry.

      Survive. At any cost. 10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner -- his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will -- and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside? Based on an astonishing true story.
