Summary
Siegfried Lenz: The German Hour
Bibliophile Edition
Library "Tops of World Literature"
After Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus, Lenz's work is the second great post-war novel of German literature that shows the fate of the artist as a paradigm of social events on a broad horizon. The novel The German Hour has been translated into more than twenty languages. In the unusual relationship between the artist, who is affected by a senseless ban, and the policeman, who is not just a tool in the hands of the Nazi masterminds, Lenz presented an almost inconspicuous, yet deeply suggestive clip from the practice of political terror.
Translated from German: Leo Držić
