Five young siblings—three sisters and two brothers—face death by exhaustion, starvation or epidemics in post-World War II Yugoslavia. As ethnic Germans living there, the family had been arrested and their property confiscated by the Communist government. This tale of courage and ingenuity brings into sharp focus a little-known episode in European history. It is told from Dora's vivid memory, supported in part by a tattered journal kept on their journey by her older sister, Irmgard. Dora's dedication to accuracy is reflected in every line. The five escape from their labor camps, and in the depth of winter cross three heavily-guarded borders. They trek from Yugoslavia into Romania, then Hungary, then Austria. Their only food and shelter are what they can find or are given along the way, and they spend many hungry nights in the freezing winds of open fields. They are caught and jailed several times, but escape or are released by sympathetic guards. The story reads like a novel, with plenty of suspense and sharp-eyed insight into character. There are scenes of spontaneous, open-handed generosity; there is bureaucratic heartlessness, and sheer meanness. At the beginning of their internment, as the family was being scattered into various labor camps, Dora's father—a Methodist pastor—blessed her: "Dora, my child, remember that knowing God is life's highest good. Perhaps the path you're now entering will be the one He'll meet you on. May God keep you safe, my child, and may He sustain you." More than once, when despair overwhelms the siblings, these words calm them and give them the courage to find yet another way to survive and persevere. Miraculously, they succeed. - Roger N. Pierce, Professor and Director of Theater, Stanford and UC Riverside, retired.

Javanese shadow puppetry is a sophisticated dramatic form, often felt to be at the heart of Javanese culture, drawing on classic texts but with important contemporary resonance in fields like religion and politics. How to make sense of the shadow-play as a form of world-making? In Tall Tree, Nest of the Wind, Bernard Arps explores this question by considering an all-night performance of Dewa Ruci, a key play in the repertoire. Thrilling and profound, Dewa Ruci describes the mighty Bratasena’s quest for the ultimate mystical insight. The book presents Dewa Ruci as rendered by the distinguished master puppeteer Ki Anom Soeroto in Amsterdam in 1987. The book’s unusual design presents the performance texts together with descriptions of the sounds and images that would remain obscure in conventional formats of presentation. Copious annotations probe beneath the surface and provide an understanding of the performance's cultural complexity. These annotations explain the meanings of puppet action, music, and shifts in language; how the puppeteer wove together into the drama the circumstances of the performance in Amsterdam, Islamic and other religious ideas, and references to contemporary Indonesian political ideology. Also revealed is the performance’s historical multilayering and the picture it paints of the Javanese past. Tall Tree, Nest of the Wind not only presents an unrivalled insight into the artistic depth of wayang kulit, it exemplifies a new field of study, the philology of performance.
