4.0 out of 5 stars war through the eyes of a child, 10 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Un Sac De Billes (Twentieth Century Texts) (Paperback)
"Un sac de billes" is an autobiography of Joseph Joffo's childhood as a Jew during the Second World War. It is Joffo's unusal ability to portrait life accurately from a childs point of vew which makes this book so spectacular. The language is not overly complicated and should certainly not deter people from reading this book. Highly entertaining and thought provoking, "Un sac de billes" is well worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A moving story by a Jew on the run in occupied France, 5 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Un Sac De Billes (Twentieth Century Texts) (Paperback)
This is a fascinating book which gives a valuable insight into this period of history and what life was like for the Jews in occupied France, trying to dodge the Nazis and even locals who blamed the war on the Jews. It is a heart-rendering story and although Joffo's experiences were evidently traumatic, he desribes them in a light-hearted, often entertaining way so that the book is not too upsetting for the reader. The story is told from a child's perspecive and so the language is often colloquial, but this does not pose too much of a problem. I would thoroughly recommend this book, it is a story which shall remian with me for ever.
