The author,(John Boyne), in theback page of the book , “The boy in the Striped Pyjamas”, suggest is better to maintain the surprise of the book, not to count which is the argument, for that reason, from here, to continue reading is your desision. (Excepting that you're Maria, that you will have to read it, if you want to correct it to me xD)
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, deals with a as important subject as painful, as Holocaust.
The book is narrated in first person, by a boy of 9 years. Bruno is the son of a Nazi commander who is destined to direct the concentration camp of Auschwitz.
The children lived a calm life, without preoccupations, in Berlin, and when destine to his father, march to live with his family next to the wire fence of the concentration camp.While it lives there, to the distant spot, it seems to see to him young men and with striped pyjamas.
The boredom that supposes to him to live there, without friends, nor anything that to do, urges to him to go and search adventures and maybe some friend, and he see so many children the other side, together, and feels envies (yes, he have envies of persons in a concentration camp....)
After some days living there, going in search of somebody to that to know, it finds to Shmuel, a boy of his age. Between them, (that they was born the same day), it creates relation of friendship, which both needed, that takes to finish to them together in the same aside of wire fence, I will not say in which.
It has seemed me a great book, narrated from the point of view of a boy, gives a special touch him, of naivete. I believe that next I will read, Anne Frank's diary.
