Amid the turmoil of modern Damascus, one teenage boy finds his political voice in a message of rebellion that echoes throughout Syria and as far away as Western Europe. Inspired by his dearest friend, old Uncle Salim, he begins a journal to record his thoughts and impressions of family, friends, life at school, and his growing feelings for his girlfriend, Nadia. Soon the hidden diary becomes more than just a way to remember his daily adventures; on its pages he explores his frustration with the government injustices he witnesses. His courage and ingenuity finally find an outlet when he and his friends begin a subversive underground newspaper. Warmed by a fine sense of humor, this novel is at once a moving love story and a passionate testimony to the difficult and committed actions being taken by young people around the world.

Work Description

Ein Bäckerjunge in Damaskus führt Tagebuch - und wird zum Untergrundjournalisten.

Über mehrere Jahre führt ein Bäckerjunge in Damaskus ein Tagebuch. Es gibt viel Schönes, Poetisches und Lustiges zu berichten aus der Stadt, in der Menschen so vieler Nationalitäten miteinander leben: Vom alten Kutscher und Geschichtenerzähler Salim, von seiner Liebe zu Nadja und vom Basar, auf dem die Mutter Meisterin im Handeln ist. Aber es gibt auch Armut, Ungerechtigkeit und politische Verfolgung in der Stadt. Der Bäckerjunge wird zum Journalisten - im Untergrund.
