Vidoe Podgorec

The story of a boy named Tarun, who lost his parents during the war after they were killed by the Nazis. He was left by the side of the road, where he was found by wandering Roma who decided to adopt him. Because of his fair skin, they called him "White G

Tarun grows up in a Roma tent, accepting their way of life, customs and values. His adoptive father, Papa Mulon, was a man of a noble heart and became like a father to him. However, he is not accepted by all members of the community; Henza, Mulon's wife, shows hostility towards him, considering him a burden.

Despite the challenges, Tarun develops a strong bond with the horse Bresko, whom he raised after the death of his mare. Their friendship symbolizes Tarun's ability to find love and belonging in a world that often rejects him.

The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, tolerance and growing up. Through Tarun's story, the author shows how love and acceptance can overcome prejudice and hostility.
