Fugitive Pieces
(Anne Michaels)
Living the life of Jakob Beer, Jewish boy, poet and translater. And then Ben as well. This is a story of complete lives, from the most horrible encounters imaginable during World War II, just growing up, to finding and losing love. The writer takes you on a personal tour of two people?s lives, highlighting what is really important to all of us.You meet with Jakob when his parents are murdered and follow his desperate escape to the mud-buried town of Biskupin. There he is rescued by the archaeologist Athos Roussos, who raises him on a beautiful Greek island. They both find true purpose in life when they immigrate to Canada, continuing their contributions to humankind?s knowledge.It becomes clear that love finally leads the way to find peace. And once it is found, others can share in it, as proven by Ben and his wife?s admiration for Jakob. This is a truly heart-warming representation of the potential impact we have on others ? and they on us ? how unquestionably we are all interconnected.
