A young Jewish-American—who just happens to be called Jonathan Safran Foer—travels to the Ukraine in the hope of finding the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. He is aided in his search by Alex Perchov, a naïve Ukrainian translator, Alex's grandfather (also called Alex) and a flatulent mongrel bitch, named Sammy Davis JR JR Everything Is Illuminated - Jonathan Safran Foer od authora Jonathan Safran Foer a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinus.cz
