Zwei Erzahlungen, zwei historische Ereignisse und eine Familiengeschichte: Ein Dolmetscher lernt 1918 in der Ukraine die junge judische Pianistin Nadjeschda und ihre Familie kennen und wird spater Zeuge der Waffenstillstandsverhandlungen im Wald von Compiegne, deren beklemmende Atmosphare er in seinem Tagebuch festhalt. Eine Generation spater erlebt Nadjeschdas Tochter Rebecca eine der groessten Flutkatastrophen des 20. Jahrhunderts mit und berichtet ihrer Tochter davon in einer sehr persoenlichen Erzahlung. Beide Geschichten sind nicht nur spannende Erzahlungen geschichtlicher Ereignisse, sondern sie zeigen auch, wie historische Entwicklungen und die Lebensgeschichte der Figuren mit all ihren emotionalen Konflikten untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind. Two stories, two historical events, and the history of a family: In 1918, an interpreter gets to know young Jewish pianist Nadezhda and her family in the Ukraine. Later, he witnesses the armistice negotiations in the forest of Compiegne, whose oppressive atmosphere he describes in his diary. One generation later, Nadezhda’s daughter Rebecca experiences one of the largest flood catastrophes of the 20th century and tells her daughter about it in a very personal account. Both stories are not only thrilling tales of historical events, but they also show how historical developments and the stories of the characters’ lives with all their emotional conflicts are inseparably linked.
