J. Patrick Lewis

Sur le linteau de la porte, une date gravée : 1656. L'année de la construction. Une année de peste. La Maison est bâtie de pierre et de bois. Au fil du temps, ses fenêtres se sont mises à voir et son toit à entendre. Elle a vu des feuilles grandir, des arbres tomber, entendu des rires et le son du canon. Elle a connu bien des familles, des tempêtes, des marteaux et des scies, des deuils et enfin l'abandon. Puis un jour, à nouveau, des enfants se sont aventurés dans son ombre, à la recherche de champignons et de châtaignes et une vie nouvelle lui a été donnée à l'aube d'un âge moderne. Vue de sa vieille colline, ceci est son histoire du XXe siècle.

A loyal captain narrates the story of his beloved ship's extraordinary 50-year life—from the early 1930s, when the refrigerated cargo ship named Clementine was built and launched, to her travels to exotic ports of call around the world, through her service in war and peace, to her eventual resting place at the bottom of the sea. Epic in scope and fine in detail, Roberto Innocenti's illustrations bring the ship and her story to life in this captivating book.

My Clementine

Ian McEwan

Rose Blanche was the name of a group of young German citizens who, at their peril, protested against the war. Like them, Rose observes all the changes going on around her which others choose to ignore. She watches as the streets of her small German town fill with soldiers. One day she sees a little boy escaping from the back of a truck, only to be captured by the mayor and shoved back into it. Rose follows the truck to a desolate place out of town, where she discovers many other children, staring hungrily from behind an electric barbed wire fence. She starts bringing the children food, instinctively sensing the need for secrecy, even with her mother. Until the tide of the war turns and soldiers in different uniforms stream in from the East, and Rose and the imprisoned children disappear...
