Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.8MB
Overview: In The Elephant Keepers’ Children, acclaimed Danish author Peter Høeg delivers a witty, adventurous, and deeply philosophical novel. The story follows 14-year-old Peter and his siblings, who live on a tiny island in Denmark with their eccentric, unpredictable parents—a vicar father and mechanically gifted mother. When their parents suddenly vanish under mysterious circumstances, the children set out on a quest to uncover the truth, only to stumble into a world of religious intrigue, hidden agendas, and dangerous secrets.
The novel blends satire, mystery, and existential reflection, questioning the nature of faith, love, and personal freedom. With its cast of quirky characters, absurdist humor, and heart-pounding twists, it reads like a blend of detective tale, philosophical fable, and coming-of-age story.
Høeg, best known internationally for Smilla’s Sense of Snow, once again shows his gift for weaving intellectual themes into a playful, entertaining narrative. The Elephant Keepers’ Children is both a satire of organized religion and a poignant exploration of what it means to grow up in a chaotic, contradictory world.
