The Story of an East German FamilyTranslation of: Haltet euer Herz bereit: eine ostdeutsche Familiengeschichte. Winner of the European Book Prize Altogether extraordinary. --The Los Angeles Review of Books Family memoirs don t come wittier than this little marvel. --Irish Times Beautiful and supremely touching. --Sunday Telegraph Book of the Week Following three generations of German Jews this absolutely enthralling family memoir of life in the GDR during and after World War II reveals what held East Germany together--and what tore it apart (The New York Times Book Review) Now married with two children and the Wall a distant memory Maxim decides to find the answers to the questions he couldn t ask. Why did his parents once passionately in love grow apart? Why did his father become so angry and his mother quit her career in journalism? And why did his grandfather Gerhard the Socialist war hero turn into a stranger? The story he unearths is like his country s past one of hopes lies cruelties betrayals but also love. In Red Love he captures with warmth and unflinching honesty why so many dreamed the GDR would be a new world and why in the end it fell apart. Growing up in East Berlin Maxim Leo knew not to ask questions. All he knew was that his rebellious parents Wolf and Anne with their dyed hair leather jackets and insistence he call them by their first names were a bit embarrassing. That there were some places you couldn t play; certain things you didn t say.Forlag: Pushkin PressUdgivelsesår: 2013Sider: 264Sprog: Engelsk Klik på 'Se annoncen hos forhandleren' for at se varen i vores webshop Vi sender til hele landet for 45 kr.
