Address Unknown

Autor Kathrine Kressmann Taylor
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 sep 2019
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERA 1939 PUBLISHING SENSATIONCan friendship survive in a divided world? Written on the eve of the Holocaust as a series of letters between a Jew in America and his German friend, Kressmann Taylor's classic novel is a haunting tale of a society poisoned by Nazism.First published in 1938, Address Unknown met with immediate success in English but was banned in Europe by the Nazis. Tragically prescient about what was to come, it was one of the earliest works of fiction to warn against the growing dangers of fascism and antisemitism in Europe. It became an international bestseller and has been translated into more than twenty languages.A novel of enduring impact with a memorable sting in its tail, Address Unknown stands as a powerful reminder of the dangers posed by the rhetoric of intolerance.

Recenzii

This modern story is perfection itself. It is the most effective indictment of Nazism to appear in fiction.
A tale already known and profoundly appreciated by members of my generation. It is to our part in World War II what Uncle Tom's Cabin was to the Civil War.
Remarkably, despite the multitude of testimony and first-person accounts of life under Nazism with which we've been deluged since its first publication, this old, slim fiction manages to smuggle us across time and space into one eloquent tale of perfidy.
That this short, fleeting story has lasted so long is not only because of its artistic achievement, and not only because, written in 1938, it astonishingly anticipated the horror that was yet to come. It is because its prescience is not confined to its time. It saw into our own future too.
Captivating, beautiful and unimaginably powerful, a book for our times
A short story with a long, dark echo; fierce, clever, and timely in today's world.
This stunning classic brilliantly defines what happens when people are swept up in a poisonous ideology.
