Growing Up, Blowing Up - Charbel Boujaoude - Bog

Bag om Growing Up, Blowing Up

This is a true story like no other: told from the perspective of a child who grew up in the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990) from the age of three until young adulthood. It is a compelling recollection of all the drama he endured over the years: hiding in the basement as the building roof crumbled to the ground; evading the bombs on the way to school; maneuvering through deadly enemy checkpoints... There is a tale of forbidden love, and being forced to leave the girl he loved behind as his family attempted to escape the hellish ordeal. Amid the raging religious and political battles, there is a firsthand account of a boy trying to experience a semblance of a normal life: playing soccer, completing his education... staying alive.
