1000 Jala
A novel about the forgotten language of childhood.
Short Description:
What does "1000 Jala" mean?
When a seven-year-old boy utters these mysterious words on the way to the swimming pool, his grandfather has no idea that a journey is beginning that will change his life.
A touching story about childhood, memories, and the question of whether adults might have forgotten something that children still know.
A poetic novel full of warmth, secrets, and quiet magic.
Detailed Description:
Sometimes the most important story begins with a single word.
On a perfectly ordinary car journey, a little boy suddenly says:
"1000 Jala."
When asked what that means, he just shrugs.
But the word won't let go of his grandfather.
When he encounters "Jala" on a wall a little later, then in a dream, and finally repeatedly in the statements of other children, he begins to suspect that there is more behind this enigmatic word than mere coincidence.
What if children can see something that adults have long forgotten?
What if there is a language that does not consist of words, but of memories, wonder, and vibrancy?
1000 Jala is a poetic novel about the lost art of wonder, about generations who can give each other something, and about the small secrets of life that are often right in front of us.
A story for anyone who wants to remember what the world felt like before everything had to be explained.
