About this product
Product Information
A mystical and transcendent journey of two wanderers, an eleven-year-old boy, and an old man to whom the boy has been entrusted by his father, a Jew, fleeing the ravages of the war, follows the huge success of Adam & Thomas , Appelfeld's award-winning first book for middle-grade readers. Here, the old man is a former Ukranian commander, revered by the soldiers under his command, who has gone blind and chosen the life of a wanderer as his last spiritual adventure. The child, now disguised as a Ukranian non-Jew, learns from the old man how to fend for himself and how to care for others. The unlikely pair wander from village to village, sometimes encountering old friends, sometimes abuse from children and adult villagers wary of thieves and beggars. In the tradition of The Alchemist , the travelers learn from each other and the boy grows stronger and wiser as the old man teaches him the art of survival and, through the stories he shares, the reasons for living. A coming-of-age story unlike any other, and an extraordinary tale of friendship, loss, and survival. Like every Aharon Appelfeld book, Long Summer Nights carries its magic not only in the words but also in the silences between them.

Reviews
"Appelfeld (1932-2018) was a master storyteller, and his approach here resembles that of Isaac Bashevis Singer. But there is also a kind of naivete--Yanek does not quite understand what has happened to his parents and grandfather--that is reminiscent of Morris Gleitzman's Once trilogy. While Grandpa Sergei instructs Yanek to wear a cross to protect himself against anti-Semitic harm, the danger they both face is prejudice against wanderers. The illustrations are strong yet stark and add to representation of the wanderers' existence. This book adds a simple yet unexpected depth to the cadre of Holocaust refugee narratives. It offers memorable characters and little-known experiences. It could become a new favorite." -Barbara Krasner, Association of Jewish Libraries newsletter "[A] poignant tale of loss and survival." - Publishers Weekly "This haunting account of a young Jewish boy in World War II Ukraine embodies both myth and history. . . . The subtlety with which Appelfeld avoids comforting conclusions about human indestructibility in the face of evil is one of the most profound achievements of this novel. . . . .Although Long Summer Nights is not a picture book, Vali Mintzi's illustrations -- interspersed throughout the text -- are an essential complement to Appelfeld's text. Drawn in the style of charcoal sketches, they capture the link between human beings and nature which reflects Yanek and Grandpa Sergei's life in the countryside. People are dark silhouettes or have minimally defined features, lending a folkloric quality to this tale of the lost world preserved in Appelfeld's poetry of anguish and love. Long Summer Nights is highly recommended for both children and adults." -Jewish Book Council

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
