Book name: All the light we cannot see Author: Anthony Doerr Publisher: Mamdouh Adwan Book category: Self-development Number of pages: 660 About the book: Since the Parisian girl Marie-Laure lost her sight, she has been living her own world, either between the pages of books her father brings her, or in the corridors of the Natural History Museum where he works, enchanted by the wonders of the museum and the fairy tales she hears about its exhibits, especially the mysterious gemstone: the Sea of Flames. She spends her days with her father with their usual routine, until war begins to force them to flee far away carrying a dangerous secret. On the other side of the war, in an orphanage in a small German city, a German teenager spends his days with his little sister, fascinated by the magic of the radio and its ability to transmit news and stories from distant lands. Werner pursues his obsession to become an expert in assembling and repairing radios, until the war calls him to join the engineering forces in the German army. Through their story, Anthony Doerr tells his enchanting story about the good that we may see despite the ugliness of war, and about what war does to dreamers.
