Book Description

Quand l’empereur était un dieu pdf by Julie Otsuka

Empruntant largement à l'histoire de ses grands-parents, déportés comme des centaines de milliers de citoyens américains d'origine japonaise, après l'attaque de Pearl Harbour, Julie Otsuka retrace le destin d'une paisible famille de Berkeley. Dans ce climat de psychose et de peur collectives où chacun est soupçonné d'être un traître au service de l'empereur, commence une lente descente aux enfers... Alors que le père est déjà interné, la mère et ses deux jeunes enfants sont envoyés dans un camp de l'Utah aux confins du désert. Un exil fait de privations et de souffrance, où les pires sévices sont perpétrés dans l'indifférence générale. Trois ans plus tard, lorsque le monde sort de sa folie et qu'arrive le temps des retrouvailles, c'est une famille brisée qui doit réapprendre à vivre avec ses voisins.
