A bag of marbles book review.

Apr 20 2017 jessica heck rated it it was amazing review of another edition i looooved this book. A bag of marbles un sac de billes is based on the best selling autobiographical novel by joseph joffo but here we aren t treated to the bleak battlefield often shown with such subject matter. This feels sketchy and fast easy to integrate the story with the photos but not quite as good as it could be as a well told story. For a brief portion of the war he spends his days eating pastries and watching the same movie over and over again.

One person found this helpful. I hope that young readers will be introduced to this important book. Then 1941 comes and the nazis have came to paris and taken over because of this you have had a huge chunk of your childhood taken from you. Ten year old joseph even looks a bit like tintin with his skinny frame and blond hair.

The story is regaining popularity now because a new film adaptation was released earlier this year. Instead by following the journey of inseparable brothers joseph and maurice we see 1940s france through the innocent eyes of a child. Imagine it is 1940 and you live in paris france and you are a young boy who loves to play marbles with his friends. I hope that young readers will be introduced to this important book.

The english translation of the title is bag of marbles which doesn t have the same ring but had to be kept because of the symbolism. This feels sketchy and fast easy to integrate the story with the photos but not quite as good as it could be as a well told story.
