Stolen Bicycle

On a quest to explain how and why his father mysteriously disappeared twenty years ago, a writer embarks on an epic journey in search of a stolen bicycle and soon finds himself immersed in the strangely overlapping histories of the Japanese military during World War II, Lin Wang, the oldest elephant who ever lived, and the secret world of antique bicycle collectors in Taiwan. The result is a surprising and moving meditation on memory, loss, and the bonds of family.

Intr-o cautare de a explica cum si de ce tatal sau a disparut in mod misterios in urma cu douazeci de ani, un scriitor se angajeaza intr-o calatorie epica in cautarea unei biciclete furate si, in curand, se afla scufundat in istoriile ciudate suprapuse ale armatei japoneze in timpul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial, Lin Wang , cel mai vechi elefant care a trait vreodata si lumea secreta a colectionarilor de biciclete antice din Taiwan.
