His name is Jakob Beer. He is only seven years old. And although by all rights he should have shared the fate of the other Jews in his village, he has not only survived but been rescued by a Greek geologist, who does not recognize the boy as human until he begins to cry. With this electrifying image, Anne Michaels ushers us into her rapturously acclaimed novel of loss, memory, history, and redemption. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Michaels follows Jakob across two continents, she lets us witness his transformation from a half-wild casualty of the Holocaust to an artist who extracts meaning from its abyss. Filled with mysterious symmetries and rendered in heart-stopping prose, \u003ci\u003eFugitive Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e is a triumphant work, a book that should not so much be read as it should be surrendered to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679776598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.20w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Guardian First Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/14\/1998 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/10\/2000 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anne Michaels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42916965154997,"sku":"9780679776598","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0be5e0fb-905d-40ee-a36e-b18f86d202b5.jpg?v=1687274548","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fugitive-pieces-9780679776598","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
