Lina ha appena compiuto quindici anni quando scopre che basta una notte, una sola, per cambiare il corso di tutta una vita. Quando arrivano quegli uomini e la costringono ad abbandonare tutto. E a ricordarle chi è, chi era, le rimangono soltanto una camicia da notte, qualche disegno e la sua innocenza. È il 14 giugno del 1941 quando la polizia sovietica irrompe con violenza in casa sua, in Lituania. Lina, figlia del rettore dell’università, è sulla lista nera, insieme a molti altri scrittori, professori, dottori e alle loro famiglie. Sono colpevoli di un solo reato, quello di esistere. Insieme alla madre e al fratellino viene ammassata con centinaia di persone su un treno e inizia un viaggio senza ritorno tra le steppe russe. Settimane di fame e di sete. Fino all’arrivo in Siberia, in un campo di lavoro dove tutto è grigio, dove regna il buio, dove il freddo uccide sussurrando. E dove non resta niente, se non la polvere della terra che i deportati sono costretti a scavare, giorno dopo giorno.

Prawdziwa historia Alfreda Mehrana, pierwowzoru postaci Viktora Navorskiego z filmu Terminal Stevena Spielberga, którą brawurowo zagrał Tom Hanks. Najsłynniejszy bezdomny świata mieszka na paryskim lotnisku de Gaullea od 16. lat. Nie może nigdzie wyjechać, bo nie posiada żadnych dokumentów. Podejmuje karkołomną walkę z bezduszną machiną biurokratyczną, ale z miernym skutkiem. Lepiej mu idzie organizacja życia codziennego na lotnisku. Powraca też wspomnieniami do studiów w Londynie, a przede wszystkim do ogarniętego terrorem Iranu lat 70. i początku lat 80. Ropa naftowa, tajna policja, mordowanie opozycjonistów są jednymi z ważniejszych tematów tej nietuzinkowej książki.
