Markus Zusak: Three Wild Dogs (and the truth), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'Truthful - and often very funny - this is as true a book about a dog as you will find' - Telegraph

In this poignant, funny and disarmingly honest memoir, one of the world's most beloved storytellers, bestselling author of The Book Thief , tells of his family's adoption of three troublesome rescue dogs - a charming and courageous love story about making even the most incorrigible of animals family.

What happens when the Zusaks open their family home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs - Reuben, a wolf at your door with a hacksaw; Archer, blond, beautiful, deadly; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm?

The answer can only be chaos: there are street fights, public shamings, property trashing, bodily injuries, stomach pumping, purest comedy, and carnage that needs to be seen to be believed . . . not to mention the odd police visit at some ungodly hour.

There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love - and the joy and recognition of family. Three Wild Dogs (and the truth) is a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty straight to our doors and into our lives, and change us forever.

'Funny and charming . . . A stirring tale of the bond that can form between human and hound' - The Times
