Book Description
This is the story of Albert Hausmann, an orphan, a brilliant boy who succeeds in becoming an obstetrician; a researcher concerned with genetic replication, for the good of humanity. One of his main goals in life is to find his mother. The National Socialistic government of Adolph Hitler grasps upon this research to perpetuate Aryans for Germany. An anti-Semitic Albert is sent, as a researcher, to a concentration camp for experiments on live subjects. He ultimately is placed in charge of a lebensborn facility (one where unwed, Aryan women are sent to have Aryan mens babies) and ends up using one of the infants, a Semitic-looking child, as a cover for escaping Germany. He does this, boards a Turkish dingy, child in hand. The unseaworthy craft is about to sink and instead of ending up in Syria as he had planned, he is picked up by a ship carrying Jews to Palestine. He remains there ultimately becoming a medical officer in Israels defense forces. We read of the handsome Alberts affairs with women and his trials and joys in life. We realize through this life that it is one which is emblematic of forming the character he has become. He discovers his mother in Israel and realizes he is Jewish. Albert grows to love the child as if it were his own. He becomes a changed person. Ultimately, the reader may well bond with Albert in his effort to atone for his sins. The story is packed with action and suspense. It takes place in Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia, Poland, Syria and the United States.

The Eternal Philistine
Author: Odon Von Horvath
Publisher: Melville House
ISBN: 1935554743
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
“At the World’s Fair in Paris I once lost my late husband and, just then, an elegant gentleman accosted me. As I look at him, he opens up his overcoat and hasn’t got anything on underneath. I only mention this in passing.” This never-before translated work by a major yet overlooked mid-20th century writer is a brutally funny look at the human comedy on the eve of Europe’s descent into Fascism. It tells the tale of a failed used car salesman who wants to live the high life, and so decides to travel by train from Munich to Barcelona to attend the World’s Fair—in hopes of meeting a beautiful, rich woman who will provide for his every whim. It’s a highly stylized and, at times, raucously funny tale of the almost-absurd: a dark and satiric look at Europeans, and especially Germans, on the brink of cataclysm. Adrift in their acquisitive desires, they are vulnerable to the propaganda of the State—making this novel brilliantly foresightful in its understanding of politics and human nature at a crucial point in modern history. Ödön von Horváth’s scathing insight, in fact, led to his having to flee the very society he depicted when, living in Berlin, he drew the wrath of the Nazis. And yet this hilarious tour-de-force—written just after his escape, and just before his death in a tragic accident—eschews bitterness for rambunctious perseverance and compassion, and provides ample evidence of why von Horváth deserves renewed appreciation.
