✦ Synopsis


Here is �a rich and lyrical masterpiece��notes Peter Constantine�the first translation of a lost treasure by acclaimed author H. G. Adler, a survivor of Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. Written in 1950, after Adler�s emigration to England, The Journey was ignored by large publishing houses after the war and not released in Germany until 1962. Depicting the Holocaust in a unique and deeply moving way, and avoiding specific mention of country or camps�even of Nazis and Jews�The Journey is a poetic nightmare of a family�s ordeal and one member�s survival. Led by the doctor patriarch Leopold, the Lustig family finds itself �forbidden� to live, enduring in a world in which �everyone was crazy, and once they finally recognized what was happening it was too late.� Linked by its innovative style to the work of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, The Journey portrays the unimaginable in a way that anyone interested in recent history and modern literature must read.From the Trade Paperback edition.
