La femme du gardien de zoo

La femme du gardien de zoo
Jan et Antonina Zabinski dirigent le zoo de Varsovie quand éclate la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La Pologne est envahie et bientôt règne la barbarie. Les animaux ont été tués sous les bombardements, envoyés à Berlin ou ont servi de gibier aux officiers allemands. Jan et Antonina se mettent alors à élever des porcs officiellement pour les troupes, officieusement pour nourrir les habitants du ghetto. Surtout, ils profitent d''un réseau de souterrains reliant les cages pour y cacher des juifs et les faire quitter le pays... Grâce au courage de ce couple, trois cents d''entre eux seront sauvés. Inspiré du journal intime d''Antonina Zabinski, ce récit retrace le combat d''un couple soucieux de la cause animale qui s''engage dans une lutte secrète contre l''oppression nazie. Un très beau portrait de femme, où l''abnégation et la générosité côtoient la cruauté et l''horreur.

Sejarah Cinta

release date: Jan 01, 2019
Sejarah Cinta
Cinta memaksa Ovid menderita dan Stendhal disiksa dengan indah. Bagi Plato, cinta berarti kerinduan diri-kedua yang terbelah. Bagi ilmuwan zaman ini, cinta mungkin suatu koktail biokimia berisi oksitosin dan feniletilamin. Ackerman menjelajahi sejarah, sastra, biologi, dan budaya pop dalam mencari “yang maha tak terpahami.” Ia menyandingkan Cleopatra dengan Abelard dan Helois, Freud dengan Blade Runner. Ia mengeksplorasi daya tarik perselingkuhan, daya pikat afrodisiak(termasuk ramuan orang Romawi yang terbuat dari isi perut ikan busuk), dan kultus ciuman. Ia mengungkap rahasia para pencinta yang tak pernah terpuaskan seperti Casanova dan Don Juan sambil membuka trauma keseluruhan masyarakat yang kehilangan kemampuannya untuk mencintai. Ditulis dengan memikat, diungkapkan dengan indah, Sejarah Cinta adalah hal terbaik berikutnya bagi cinta itu sendiri, sebuah buku yang membelai, menggetarkan, dan menggembirakan. * “Ditulis dengan ceria, serius, puitis dan saintifik, diambil dari banyak sekali sumber, Ackerman telah meringkas yang maha tak terkatakan itu: cinta.” Los Angeles Daily News “Bahasa Ackerman sangatlah kaya selain juga sensual. Bahan yang dikumpulkannya dari lembar-lembar sejarah sungguh menggetarkan.” Columbus Dispatch

The true story of how the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands. When Germany invaded Poland, Stuka bombers devastated Warsaw--and the city''s zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into empty cages. Another dozen "guests" hid inside the Zabinskis'' villa, emerging after dark for dinner, socializing, and, during rare moments of calm, piano concerts. Jan, active in the Polish resistance, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile, Antonina kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitants--otters, a badger, hyena pups, lynxes--and keeping alive an atmosphere of play and innocence even as Europe crumbled around her.--From publisher description.
