«Sadako will leben» is the young adult novel by Karl Bruckner, published by G & G Verlagsgesellschaft in hardcover (212 pages, in German).
Sadako Sasaki was four years old when she suffered the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Ten years later, an illness caused by radiation leads her to recall the Japanese legend that promises health to those who fold a thousand paper cranes. The novel shows, through Sadako's struggle, the impact of war on childhood and the value of hope.
Originally published in 1961, it received the Austrian National Prize and the City of Vienna Juvenile Book Prize; this 2011 edition is the 5th.
This work is recommended for young people aged 14 and up and is used as school reading (Schullektüre) to address the Second World War and the bombing of Hiroshima.
