Erika erzählt ihre Geschichte - so wie sie gewesen sein könnte. Sie stellt sich das Leben ihrer Familie im Ghetto vor. Wie sie mit Hunderten von Juden zum Bahnhof getrieben und in einen Viehwagen gepfercht wurden, der sie in ein Lager bringen sollte. Und wie die Mutter, als der Zug in einem Dorf sein Tempo verlangsamte, ihr Kind in ein Tuch wickelte und den Säugling hinauswarf. Jemand hob ihn auf und brachte ihn zu einer Frau, die für das Mädchen sorgte und ihm einen Namen gab: Erika. Mit zurückhaltender Bildsprache führt der Buchkünstler Roberto Innocenti die Geschichte eines kleinen Mädchens eindrücklich und in ihrer ganzen Ungeheuerlichkeit vor Augen.
I ricordi della ritirata di Russia scritti in un lager tedesco dall'alpino Rigoni Stern nell'inverno del 1944 vennero pubblicati da Einaudi nel 1953 nei 'Gettoni' diretti da Vittorini sotto il titolo 'Il sergente nella neve'. Apprezzato inizialmente soprattutto per il valore della testimonianza, il romanzo ha mostrato le sue grandi qualità espressive con la progressiva distanza temporale dai drammatici avvenimenti narrati. E ormai è giustamente considerato un classico del Novecento - per la lingua intensa e sempre concretissima, per l'alta moralità di fronte a esperienze estreme, per la totale mancanza di qualsiasi enfasi retorica, per il candore e la forza con cui viene rappresentata la lotta dell'uomo per conservare la propria umanità.
Das neue Meisterwerk des vielfach preisgekrönten Illustrators Roberto Innocenti entführt uns auf eine außergewöhnliche Bilderreise durch die Geschichte. Innocenti hat ein unvergessliches Haus geschaffen, das uns in poetischen Vierzeilern des Dichters J. Patrick Lewis - wunderbar ins Deutsch übertragen von Mirjam Pressler - sein Leben erzählt. 1656 Stein auf Stein auf einem Hügel in der Toskana erbaut, hat es viel erlebt: wie die Pest das Land erschütterte, zahlreiche Generationen Zuflucht suchten, Familienfeste gefeiert wurden, Kriege den Hügel verwüsteten, Steine immer wieder aufgebaut werden mussten, altes Handwerk verschwand, das Haus verlassen wurde - und am Ende zu neuem Leben erwacht.
