Voda za slonove

Voda za slonove

Sara Gruen

Jacob Jankowski napustio je svoj dotadašnji život, uskočio u prvi vlak koji je prolazio mjestom i dospio ravno u svijet čudaka i izopćenika, a njegov novi dom - Cirkus braće Benzini - istodobno će postati njegov spas i pakao na zemlji.

Za studenta veterinarskog fakulteta, na korak do diplome, posao u cirkusu naći će se bez problema, ali preživjeti tijekom američke Velike depresije, gostujući svaki dan u drugom gradu, neće biti jednostavno. Kroz njegovu brigu za životinje, jedna članica cirkusa posebno će mu prirasti srcu - slonica Rosie, koju zbog njezina odbijanja bilo kakvog oblika suradnje s ljudima, dotad nitko nije uspio dresirati. No zbog svoje osjećajnosti i dobrote, Jacob će se naći na meti nasilnog i okrutnog dresera životinja, Augusta. Problemi s Augustom postat će još veći kada se zaljubi u njegovu prekrasnu ženu, Marlenu, koja je također bezbroj puta iskusila snagu bijesa svojeg supruga. Veza koju će uspostaviti Jacob, Marlena i Rosie bit će prepuna ljubavi i povjerenja te će naposljetku postati njihova jedina nada za opstanak.
