Set in Central Europe on the eve of World War II, this novel follows a small community living under the threat of the 'brown plague'. The story is told by Vimlo, a young boy in a strange family, as the inhabitants of the ghetto become gripped by the hallucination of an imaginary elephant. Alain Gerber combines serious themes with a burlesque narrative style, reminiscent of Chaplin and Woody Allen, to explore the extreme passions of pre-war Europe.
