Kaunis ja kauhea tarina sota-ajasta AuschwitzistaJohn Boynen Poika raidallisessa pyjamassa on nuortenkirja, joka sopii myös aikuisten luettavaksi. Jos avaat tämän kirjan, lähdet matkalle Brunon kanssa. Ennen pitkää saavutte Brunon kanssa aidalle. Joka puolella maailmaa on samanlaisia aitoja. Toivottavasti sinun ei koskaan tarvitse kohdata sellaista aitaa. Poika raidallisessa pyjamassa on tarina 9-vuotiaasta Brunosta, jonka isä on natsiupseeri. Perhe muuttaa isän työn takia keskitysleirin liepeille Auschwitziin. Brunosta on kurjaa jättää koti ja leikkikaverit, eikä hän viihdy uudessa asuinpaikassa. Ikävyyttä poistaakseen hän alkaa tehdä tutkimusretkiä lähiympäristöön ja ystävystyy salaa vanhemmiltaan aidan toisella puolella olevan juutalaispojan Shmuelin kanssa. Shmuelin isä on kadonnut, ja pojat päättävät yhteistuumin etsiä hänet. Shmuel lainaa Brunolle raidallisen pyjaman, jotta tämä ei herättäisi huomiota aidan toisella puolella. Bruno pukeutuu lainavaatteisiin ja pujahtaa aidan ali.

Pickpocket John Jacob Turnstile is on his way to be detained at His Majesty's Pleasure when he is offered a lifeline, what seems like a freedom of sorts - the job of personal valet to a departing naval captain.
Berlin 1942When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see in the distance. But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.
Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us . Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence and who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas. Bruno's friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation.

John Boyne became internationally known for his acclaimed novels Crippen and the bestselling The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Now, for the first time in the US comes The Thief of Time, the book that started the career of the author that the Irish Examiner calls "one of the best and original of the new generation of Irish writers." It is 1758 and Matthieu Zela is fleeing Paris after witnessing the murder of his mother and his stepfather's execution. Matthieu's life is characterized by one extraordinary fact: before the eighteenth century ends, he discovers that his body has stopped ageing. At the end of the twentieth century and the ripe old age of 256 he is suddenly forced to answer an uncomfortable question: what is the worth of immortality without love? In this carefully crafted novel, The Thief of Time, John Boyne juxtaposes history and the buzz of the modern world, weaving together portraits of 1920s Hollywood, the Great Exhibition of 1851, the French Revolution, the Wall Street Crash, and other landmark events into one man's story of murder, love, and redemption.
Bored and lonely after his family moves from Berlin to a place called "Out-With" in 1942, Bruno, the son of a Nazi officer, befriends a boy in striped pajamas who lives behind a wire fence. Reprint.

THE BOY AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
POIKA RAIDALLISESSA PYJAMASSAKirja kertoo toisen maailmansodan tapahtumista yhdeksänvuotiaan Brunon näkökulmasta. Hän joutuu jättämään kotinsa ja ystävänsä Berliinissä, kun perhe muuttaa Puolaan isän työn perässä. Uudesta kodista avautuu kolkko näköala parakkiin. Piikkilangan takana asuu ihmisiä, joilla on yllään raidalliset pyjamat. Kaksi erilaista maailmaa kohtaa, kun Bruno tutustuu aidan takana asuvaan samanikäiseen Shmueliin. Poikien välille kasvaa ystävyys, joka ylittää paitsi piikkilangan myös symboliset raja-aidat. Bruno tuo Shmuelille ruokaa ja ihmettelee ystävänsä laihuutta, mutta ei ymmärrä tämän olevan vankina keskitysleirillä. Toisinaan Brunon naiivius on viety romaanissa jopa epäuskottavuuteen saakka. Kun Bruno päättää käväistä aidan toisella puolen, hän tekee kohtalokkaan valinnan. Ystävyyden katkeamatonta sidettä kuvastava loppuratkaisu pysyy mielessä pitkään.

Some stories are universal. They play out across human history. And time is the river which will flow through them. It starts with a family, a family which will mutate. For now, it is a father, mother and two sons. One with his father’s violence in his blood. One who lives his mother’s artistry. One leaves. One stays. They will be joined by others whose deeds will change their fate. It is a beginning. Their stories will intertwine and evolve over the course of two thousand years - they will meet again and again at different times and in different places. From distant Palestine at the dawn of the first millennium to a life amongst the stars in the third. While the world will change around them, their destinies will remain the same. It must play out as foretold. It is written. A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom is the extraordinary new novel from acclaimed writer John Boyne. Ambitious, far-reaching and mythic, it introduces a group of characters whose lives we will come to know and will follow through time and space until they reach their natural conclusion.

Ninety-one-year-old Gretel Fernsby has lived in the same mansion block in London for decades. She leads a comfortable, quiet life, despite her dark and disturbing past. She doesn’t talk about her escape from Germany over seventy years before. She doesn’t talk about the post-war years in France with her mother. Most of all, she doesn’t talk about her father, the commandant of one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps. Then, a young family moves into the apartment below her. In spite of herself, Gretel can’t help but begin a friendship with the little boy, Henry, though his presence brings back memories she would rather forget. One night, she witnesses a violent argument between Henry’s mother and his domineering father, one that threatens Gretel’s hard-won, self-contained existence. Gretel is faced with a chance to expiate her guilt, grief and remorse and act to save a young boy - for the second time in her life. But to do so, she will be forced to reveal her true identity to the world. Will she make a different choice this time, whatever the cost to herself? All the Broken Places is a devastating, beautiful story about a woman who must confront the sins of her past and a present in which it is never too late for bravery.
