Krátky popis
&,nbsp, “Deeply moving” - Booktrust “A gripping story of love,
courage and triumph over evil” - The Bookseller “Can, and should,
be read by an audience of any age.” - Jewish News A story of
survival, of love between mother and son and of enduring hope in
the face of unspeakable hardship. An important read.&,nbsp, The
Boy Who Didn't Want to Die describes an extraordinary journey, made
by Peter, a boy of five, through war-torn Europe in 1944 and 1945.
Peter and his parents set out from a small Hungarian town,
travelling through Austria and then Germany together.Along the way,
unforgettable images of adventure flash one after another: sleeping
in a tent and then under the sky, discovering a disused brick
factory, catching butterflies in the meadows - and as Peter
realises that this adventure is really a nightmare - watching bombs
falling from the blue sky outside Vienna, learning maths from his
mother in Belsen. All this is drawn against a background of terror,
starvation, infection and, inevitably, death, before Peter and his
mother can return home.&,nbsp, Author Professor Peter Lantos is
a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and in his previous
life was an internationally renowned clinical neuroscientist. His
memoir,&,nbsp,Parallel Lines&,nbsp,(Arcadia Books, 2006)
was translated into Hungarian, German and Italian.&,nbsp,Closed
Horizon&,nbsp,(Arcadia, 2012) was his first novel.Peter was
awarded the British Empire Medal in 2020 for ‘services to Holocaust
education and awareness’. He is one of the last of the generation
of survivors and this – his first book for children – will serve as
a testimony to his experience. Peter lives in London.&,nbsp,
MORE REVIEWS OF THE BOY WHO DIDN'T WANT TO DIE ",the book [is]
absolutely compelling, partly because it is a true story of
extraordinary resilience and survival in unimaginable
circumstances, but also because Lantos' stark recollections make
very powerful reading.",&,nbsp,Gaby Wine, The Jewish Chronicle
