內容簡介

內容簡介 1940年代，維也納希特勒青年團的10歲成員喬喬，發現父母在家窩藏猶太女孩艾莎。雙親失踪後，男孩喬喬是唯一知道艾莎躲在家裡的人，他必須一肩擔負艾莎的命運。 THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE 'JOJO RABBIT' DIRECTED BY TAIKA WAITITI STARRING SCARLETT JOHANSSON, REBEL WILSON AND SAM ROCKWELL This extraordinary novel is seen through the eyes of Johannes, an avid member of the Hitler Youth in the 1940s. After he is severely injured in a raid, he discovers his parents are hiding a Jewish girl called Elsa behind a false wall in their large house in Vienna. His initial horror turns to interest, then love and obsession. After the disappearance of his parents, Johannes finds he is the only one aware of Elsa's existence in the house, the only one responsible for her survival. Both manipulating and manipulated, Johannes dreads the end of the war: with it will come the prospect of losing Elsa and their relationship, which ranges through passion and obsession, dependence and indifference, love and hate. This gripping, masterful work examines truth and lies at both political and personal levels, laying bare the darkest corners of the human soul.
