In this remarkable record of personal and world history, Hans - left motherless at birth and raised by his grandmother - maintains hope and faith as he battles the tragedies of a childhood during the cruelty of war and the rejection of his father, and is eventually sent to America onboard the George Washington to work on his uncle's farm in Iowa. The inspirational story follows him as he learns to navigate this adventurous new chapter in his life, overcoming the darkness of his childhood and forging a brand new way for himself. Hans' new life in America is not always easy, but with courage and optimism he makes it through the bad - the financial woes of the Great Depression, concern for his family back in Nazi ravaged Germany - and the good - learning English and becoming a U.S. citizen, finding love and starting a family. Hans leaves the sadness of his childhood behind for the joy of the life he has made for himself in America with the family he loves.

Dans ma peau

Autobiographie (1919-1949)

By: Doris May Lessing

Voici un livre clé de la grande romancière, auteur avec Le Carnet d'or, Les Enfants de la violence, La Terroriste, etc., d'une des œuvres les plus fortes et les plus significatives de notre temps.Sans illusion sur les pièges de la mémoire, mais avec rigueur et sincérité, Doris Lessing nous livre ici l'expérience d'une vie commencée en Perse en 1919, entre un père mutilé par la guerre et une mère dissimulant sous un masque de rigorisme une profonde insatisfaction.La Rhodésie où grandit l'enfant, l'éveil de sa sensualité, le sentiment de révolte humaine et bientôt politique qui la pousse à la rupture avec les siens : tel est à grands traits le panorama de ce livre, qui s'achève en 1949 avec l'installation à Londres de Doris, deux fois divorcée, un manuscrit dans sa valise. Car, derrière la militante et la jeune femme "émancipée ", la romancière est en train de naître...Doris Lessing est quelqu'un qui continue à donner un sens à des mots qui l'ont perdu aux yeux de beaucoup : Le non-conformisme et la médiocrité, la chaleur des moments singuliers et la force des exigences morales, le refus et l'engagement. Quelqu'un qui prend au sérieux la vie, les humains.Jean Chesneaux, La Quinzaine littéraire.
