Reading Themes

There are a few book topoi that grab my attention and draw me inexorably towards a book. I've just had the idea to organize a reading list divided in book themes.

*The Holocaust and the persecution of Jews*
  • Reunion by Fred Uhlman
  • Se questo è un uomo by Primo Levi
  • Il silenzio dei vivi di Elisa Springer
  • La variante di Luneburg by Paolo Maurensig
  • The Zookeeper's Wife by
  • Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
  • Diary of a Young Girl by Anna Frank
  • Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli
  • Il giardino dei Finzi Contini by Giorgio Bassani
  • The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John  Boyne
  • The Night by Elie Wiesel
  • Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
  • The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louisa
  • Clara’s War:  One Girl’s Story of Survival by Clara Kramer
