House of Exile: War, Love and Literature, from Berlin to Los Angeles by Evelyn Juers |
This brilliant book is a story of exile of the intellectual and artistic elite of Europe as a result of the Nazi tyranny. It is mainly told through the eyes of the Mann brothers,Thomas and Heinrich, and their families. Meticulously researched it also deals with the life work and suicide of Virginia Wolf. All the greatest literary figures of the last century are brought into imaginative life. To read it is an enriching experience.
