About This Item
Simon & Schuster, 2011. Book Club Edition. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7. First Scribner Hardcover Edition, 2011. Book Club Edition. Hardcover Book and Jacket As New. Set in Burgdorf, Germany, Hegi tells the story of a single day that will forever transform the lives of the townspeople. At the core of this remarkable novel is the question of how one teacher-gifted, joyful, inventive-can become seduced by propaganda during the early days of Hitler's regime and to encourage her tern-year-old students to join the 'Hitler-Jugend' because she believes this will be a step towards better schools, better apprenticeships. She funnels her pivotal moments in history through the experiences of individual characters and shows how one society-educated, cultural, compassionate-can slip into a reality that's fabricated and controlled by fear. Ursula Hegi illuminates and immortalizes a history we cannot afford to forget. Masterful writing. 272 pages. 8vo. 2011, Simon & Schuster. ISBN10: 1451608292, ISBN13: 9781451608298
