The book of Joshua Porela

This detective story began in a rainy evening in Paris. There were several years before the outbreak of World War II, and people still lined up in line for sweets. Jacques Pearl, as always, wrapped marmalade in branded silky paper when he saw on the street a frozen and wet -through boy about fifteen. He did not speak French, and as he ended up here - a mystery. Time will pass, he will take the name of Joshua and replace the spouses of the pearl of their deceased son.
Or maybe this story began at a different moment, as an adventure novel. Then, when the 14-year-old young man, tired and wounded, fled through the forest and stumbled upon an amazing hut. A taciturn man named Joshua Perl lived in it, who diverted the whole room of his home under his suitcases. It is amazing how many of them are here! But their contents are even more surprising. Gently wrapped in paper with the inscription "confectionery" house P "", all kinds of wonders are stored in them. A small thimble in a red box, an amber ball with a bone frozen inside, an ivory skull - not more than priceless artifacts stolen somewhere?
Perhaps this story also has the third beginning, the most incredible: young Ilian falls in love with an excellent girl Oliy, but they are not destined to be together ... Why do not start the story, the story will seem incredible. At least those who have lost the ability to believe in a fairy tale.
