Reunion by Fred Uhlman
This book is really a short story at only 71 pages but it will stay with me for a long time. It is the story of two schoolboys in Germany in the late 1930’s before WWII. One is Jewish the other Christian and it’s about the friendship they form and the effect that Hitter’s regime has on it.
rivenduto? cattive condizioni, non è la copia storica di adolescente
Beautiful and powerful novella, in which Jewish narrator, Hans Schwarz, recalls his adolescence in pre-WW2 Stuttgart. He takes us back to an unexceptional day at school when a new student is enrolled - the aristocratic Konradin von Hohenfels.
Schwarz re-lives his almost obsessive interest in this godlike youth, the way their friendship takes off. But as Nazism takes over, von Hohenfels has to keep his new friend well away from the family home. Indeed, it seems that the boy, too, has a level of sympathy for Hitler...
The end comes as a surprise. Very well written.… (more)
