This quartet of true stories -- of displacement, of survival and of resistance -- spans the globe and reflects the universal spirit of humanity. A miller in rural China sits silently with the thrum of his waterwheel. A survivor of Pol Pot's killing fields works to bring music and joy to a new generation. A theatre troupe rises out of the horror of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. A Wurundjeri elder shares her knowledge of the land and the story of her great-great-uncle's stand against invasion. And a family leave the old world for the new, unaware it is a land far more ancient than the one they had left. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
