ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book that inspired the adapted film, One Life, starring Anthony Hopkins

A gripping thriller about the man who saved more than six hundred Czech children from the Nazis, by the award-winning author of The Angel of Munich.

"A fresh intrigue that takes us back to one of the darkest periods in history." --Patrizia Violi, La Lettura


Prague, 1938. Hitler's shadow looms over Czechoslovakia. A team of British volunteers led by a young stockbroker, Nicholas Winton, rushes to save the country's Jewish children, sending them to safety in the United Kingdom by airplane and train. The only help at hand is Petra, their local guide, who joins their clandestine mission. The volunteers soon focus on a mysterious child known as the Salt Girl, who sells bags of this coveted ingredient on the streets of the city every night. No one knows her name or her source for the precious commodity, but they do know she is in grave danger: a hulking German officer is looking for her. This powerful novel is based on a true story that first came to light in 1988, when a BBC documentary revealed the names of the children who were rescued and turned Nicholas Winton into an instant hero and nominee for a Nobel Peace Prize. Fabiano Massimi gifts us a fictionalized version of a little-known episode in one of history's darkest chapters.
