Présentation de l'éditeur :
When Germany invaded Poland, Stuka bombers devastated Warsaw and the city s zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into empty cages. Another dozen guests hid inside the Zabinskis' villa. Jan, active in the Polish resistance, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile, Antonina kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitants: otters, a badger, hyena pups, lynxes... With her exuberant prose and exquisite sensitivity to the natural world, Diane Ackerman breathes fresh life into a forgotten tale from the Second World War. The result is an extraordinary, uplifting tale of heroism and survival.
Revue de presse :

This powerful thriller would be a great novel- except that it happens to be true' JARED DIAMOND-- 'Ackerman has succeeded in a vivid, cinematically written book that's bound to find its way to the screen... A gorgeous account of cunning and compassion' SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE-- 'An extraordinarily moving story' WASHINGTON POST-- 'Stunning. Ackerman tells the story with a perfect rapport for its main characters, both human and animal.' DAVA SOBEL --*

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Jan and Antonina Zabinski were Polish Christian zookeepers horrified by Nazi racism, who managed to save over three hundred people. Yet their story has fallen between the seams of history. Drawing on Antoninas diary and other historical sources, best-selling naturalist Diane Ackerman vividly re-creates Antoninas life as the zookeepers wife, responsible for her own family, the zoo animals, and their GuestsResistance activists and refugee Jews, many of whom Jan had smuggled from the Warsaw Ghetto. Ironically, the empty zoo cages helped to hide scores of doomed people, who were code-named after the animals whose names they occupied. Others hid in the nooks and crannies of the house itself. Jan led a cell of saboteurs, and the Zabinskis young son risked his life carrying food to the Guests, while also tending an eccentric array of creatures in the house. With hidden people having animal names, and pet animals having human names, its small wonder the zoos codename became The House Under a Crazy Star. Yet there is more to this story than a colorful cast. With her exquisite sensitivity to the natural world, Diane Ackerman explores the role of nature in both kindness and savagery, and she unravels the fascinating and disturbing obsession at the core of Nazism: both a worship of nature and its violation, as humans sought to control the genome of the entire planet. The New York Times bestseller now a major motion picture starring Jessica Chastain. A true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands.
