The boy with the striped pajamas

About the book "One day, when Bruno returned home from school, he was surprised to find Maria, the housemaid - who always keeps her head bowed and never lifts her eyes from the carpet - in his room, and she was moving all his belongings from the wardrobe and packing them into four large wooden boxes, even those things that only belong to him and that he had hidden in the back and are none of anyone else's business! And from here the story began." This novel has been translated into more than fifty languages, and more than 9 million copies of the book have been sold.
