Zoey the Pig, also known as Old Grandma Zoey, is Bouchie Gouchie
Town's cantankerous but lovable 800 pound pig who likes to do
things the easy way. Though everything Zoey suggests leads to near
disaster, the town's residents for some unfathomable reason get
pulled into the schemes of the outrageous pig. Zoey's latest
debacle is setting up a 900 telephone advice line for children so
Zoey can rake in the easy money so she can have the luxury mudhole
of her fondest dreams. Unfortunately, the town's children follow
Zoey's advice and misbehave, much to their parents' dismay. One
little girl "Sally" mishears Zoey's advice and runs away into the
biggest storm in Bouchie Gouchie Town's history. To save the girl,
Zoey and her pals square off against Zoey's archrival Old Grandma
Skunk and her skunk friends in a hot air balloon battle in the
skies filled with mud pies and stink bombs. Zoey just wants to
redeem herself while the nasty skunk seeks a big money reward for
the rescue. Will Sally be saved?
This classic Romanian novel lends valuable psychological insight
into the tragic situation confronting minorities in the
Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I. It is the story of
Apostol Bologa, a middle-class Romanian officer serving in the
Austro-Hungarian army who undergoes a transformation as his sense
of national consciousness awakens, leading him to make a critical
choice that many faced during this era. The novel is based on the
life of the author's brother, Emil Rebreanu, a Romanian officer in
the Austro-Hungarian army, to whom he dedicated The Forest of the
Hanged. The novel's protagonist, Bologa undergoes an evolution
whereby begins to see beyond class distinction and the veneer of
the civilized world. As the hero states, "The soul is the same in
the peasant girl as in the countess, at all events in its bare
essentials. Only the shape has been changed by civilization." The
inner struggles confronted by Bologa as he confronts the savagery
and injustice of war are emotionally portrayed by the author.
