'Mijn hoeven komen eerst, dan mijn neus, dan mijn hoofd in zijn geheel. Even blijf ik hangen, half binnen, half buiten. Dan, met een zwaai, begin ik te vallen. Het is witheet hierbuiten, ijl en verzengend. Het vallen duurt absurd lang. De grond nadert me ondersteboven, een wiegend beeld dat met mijn nek mee beweegt. Ik kom met een klap op de grond terecht, op mijn hoofd. Stof waait om me heen op en gaat weer liggen. Ik houd me stil te midden van aantredende mieren, in een poging vat te krijgen op de lucht en de zwaartekracht. Ik knipper met mijn ogen tegen het licht van de zon. Ik voel mijn longen uitzetten. Mijn hart klopt vanzelf, voor mij alleen. Wat een enorme hoeveelheid bloed stroomt door de kamers van mijn hart. omhoog en nog hoger, en omlaag. helemaal rond in mijn binnenste. Het wekt een kracht die me mijn levensdagen lang overeind zal houden. Mijn moeder stoot me aan met een hoef en nu met haar neus. Ik strek mijn benen. Ik probeer op te staan. Verscheidene keren klim ik... tijdelijk bij bestelling van euro 20,00 of meer gratis verzending.

In 1975, on the eve of May Day, secret police sealed off a zoo in a small Czechoslovakian town and ordered the destruction of the largest captive herd of giraffes in the world. Ledgard tells the story of the giraffes from the moment of their capture in Africa to their deaths behind the Iron Curtain.

In 1975, on the eve of May Day, secret police sealed off a zoo in a small Czechoslovakian town and ordered the destruction of the largest captive herd of giraffes in the world. Ledgard tells the story of the giraffes from the moment of their capture in Africa to their deaths behind the Iron Curtain. We see them first through the eyes of Emil, a haemodynamicist (he studies blood flow in vertical creatures) who is chosen to accompany them from Hamburg into Czechoslovakia. There Amina, a sleepwalker, a factory girl, glimpses their arrival and goes each day to gaze up at them. She is with them at the end, blinding them with a torch, as Jiri, a sharpshooter, brings them down one by one. Giraffe is a story about strangeness, about creatures that are alien. It is also a story about captivity, about Czechoslovakia, a middling totalitarian state in the middle of Europe that is itself asleep, under a spell, a nation of sleepwalkers.Taal: Engels;Oorspronkelijke titel: Giraffe;Afmetingen: 21x197x130 mm;Gewicht: 230,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: maart 2007;ISBN10: 0099490536;ISBN13: 9780099490531; Engelstalig | Paperback | 2007.

Marking the debut of an unforgettable talent, this haunting novel rescues a tragedy from historical oblivion in a voice that engulfs the reader like a rapturous dream. In 1975 the largest captive herd of giraffes in the world was slaughtered in the zoo of a small Czechoslovakian town, a massacre that has never been explained. Exploring this mystery, Giraffe is a story, at once vivid and unearthly, of creatures that are alien and silent, of the inhabitants of a totalitarian state, sleepwalking through the "Communist moment," and of captivity and destruction of many kinds. Brilliantly transporting, Giraffe is a modern fable about the ways in which ordinary people become complicit in the crimes committed in their midst, as well as the power of living creatures to enchant us into wakefulness.
