French author Francois David has published many books for children and teenagers. His works, written in poetic and delicate language, deal with themes such as racism, war, and difference. "Little Flame in the Dark", in which some of the stories were adapted into plays, is set in a Nazi concentration camp. It contains twelve quirky and original stories that give strength to a child in fear and fear in a framed composition.
Young Lila is forced into a world where the question of "Why?" is prohibited, and other than strong control, she is forced into a space with no rules, logic, morality, or value. To young Lila, who can't sleep in fear, Munn tells a story every night, helping her gain the strength of hope the next morning.
As such, "Small Flame in the Dark" has a common theme of oppression inflicted on a small number of people or the entire population. The story is both intense and exhilarating. It makes us realize the value of solidarity through those who oppose discrimination and stand on the side of the weak against absurdity and dictatorship. In a world where 'why?' is banned, people naturally forget 'how?'
For Lila, who is afraid because she has no confidence in facing a hopeless tomorrow, Moon's story becomes a small flame to light up the darkness. Through wise and brave people in the twelve stories, we also present that there is tomorrow. The book tells desperate people a strong song of hope that justice will eventually win, even if they are having a hard time now.

"Little Flame in the Dark", in which some of the stories are adapted into plays, is set in a Nazi concentration camp.

Young Lila is forced into a world where the question of "Why?" is forbidden, and other than strong control, she is forced into a space with no rules, no logic, no morality, no value. To young Lila, who can't fall asleep in fear, Munn tells a story every night, helping her gain the strength of hope the next morning.
The background of the twelve stories that Munne tells young Lila is not much different from reality. The book's "Rats" calls a child born on Monday a "rat." The child born on Monday will have a rat tattoo on his back, be called a rat, and live a worse life than an animal. In <Liar>, there is a king who lies. The king hates the truth and likes lies. So everyone has to tell a lie. You get executed for telling the truth. In "Potion of obedience", there is a dictator king. I'm going to make and feed a medicine that makes all the people obey.
As such, "Small Flames in Darkness" has a common theme of oppression imposed on a small number of people or the whole nation. The story is both intense and exhilarating. It makes us realize the value of solidarity through those who oppose discrimination and stand on the side of the weak against absurdity and dictatorship. In a world where 'why?' is prohibited, people naturally forget 'how?'

This book tells desperate people a powerful song of hope that justice will eventually win, even if it is having a hard time now.
"A long time ago, a new king came to the throne. As soon as he became king, he declared that everything that was true would be false. The new king soon drove even those who didn't lie as liars. And ordered them to be killed. If the person who witnessed the crime told the truth without lies, he was executed for perjury, and those who honestly kept their promises were executed for fraud. The new king kept lying. The king bragged that he bought luxurious furniture when he bought a horse. When the full moon rises, I pointed to the moon and said it was a new moon. He lied very hard." - From "Liar",
