«Alan and Naomi» is the young adult novel by Myron Levoy, published by Klett in paperback (137 pages), school edition.
Set in New York in the 1940s, the novel tells of Alan Silverman, an ordinary boy, trying to connect with Naomi, a refugee haunted by the violence she experienced in France. The misunderstanding and prejudice of those around them turn his gesture into a challenge. It is a story about friendship, overcoming pain and solidarity.
The novel was originally published in 1977. This Klett edition (1997), with notes by Peter Bruck, is part of the Echo – Lektüren Englisch series and is designed for reading the text in English without a dictionary.
It is a common classroom reading for young learners of English; the notes aid comprehension without resorting to a dictionary.
