"In the foment of Weimar-era Berlin, the Oppermann brothers represent tradition and stability. One brother oversees the furniture chain founded by their grandfather, one is an eminent surgeon, one a respected critic. They are rich, cultured, liberal, and public spirited, proud inheritors of the German enlightenment. They don't see Hitler as a threat. Then, to their horror, the Nazis come to power, and the Oppermanns and their children are faced with the terrible decision of whether to adapt - if they can - flee, or try to fight. Written in 1933, nearly in real time, The Oppermanns captures the day-to-day vertigo of watching a liberal democracy fall apart. As Joshua Cohen writes in his introduction to this new edition, it is "one of the last masterpieces of German-Jewish culture." Prescient and chilling, it has lost none of its power today." -- Jacket flap.… (más)
Escrita prácticamente en el mismo momento en que sitúan los hechos que en ella se narran, Los hermanos Oppermann es una novela histórica que retrata de forma difícilmente superable el progresivo auge del nazismo y la instauración de su brutal estrategia de persecución y exterminio de sus «enemigos». Urdida en torno a los Oppermann, una familia judía de la alta burguesía de Berlín, la obra, escrita en 1933, resultó ser trágica y sobrecogedoramente clarividente acerca de lo que habría de acabar sucediendo en la Alemania nazi.
