Book Titles #12

Everything Is Illuminated is the first novel by the American writer Jonathan Safran Foer,
published in 2002. It was adapted into a film by the same name starring Elijah Wood and
Eugene Hütz in 2005.

Jonathan Safran Foer, a young American Jew, journeys to Ukraine in search of Augustine,
the woman who saved his grandfather's life during the Nazi liquidation of Trachimbrod,
his family shtetl. Armed with maps, cigarettes and many copies of an old photograph
of Augustine and his grandfather, Jonathan begins his adventure with Ukrainian native
and soon-to-be good friend, Alexander "Alex" Perchov, who is Foer's age and very
fond of American pop culture, albeit culture that is already out of date in the United States.
Alex studied English at his university, and even though his knowledge of the language
is not "first-rate", he becomes the translator. See more here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_Is_Illuminated

Its not a book that I've read, it comes from a list compiled by Boris especially for this challenge.
