«Una merce molto pregiata» is a fable by Jean-Claude Grumberg about the Holocaust, published by Guanda in hardcover (112 pages, in Italian).
In a forest lives a humble woodcutter with his wife, who longs to have a child. During World War II, a freight train crosses the landscape; sometimes, between the bars of the cars, hands can be seen throwing small messages. One day, that train will leave the woman a very precious commodity that will change their lives forever.
Original French title: «La plus précieuse des marchandises». Italian translation by Silvia Sichel; edition published in 2019 in the Prosa contemporanea collection.
For readers of historical fiction and stories about the Holocaust, with a short length and a fable-like tone.
Jean-Claude Grumberg is a French playwright and author of children's books.
