BIELSKI, NELLA - The Year is '42

Title: The Year is '42
Description: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, UK. First Edition, Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780747571049 224 pages. Available Now. Book Description: The year is 1942 and Europe is besieged by war. Germany has defeated most of Europe, is ruling France, and approaching Russia. Three lives are bound together by destiny, although by all appearances could not be further apart. In occupied Paris, Karl, a German officer, has realised that he can no longer ignore the war. An adventurer and traveller, Karl has always avoided politics for the good life, but lately he has begun to question the regime he serves. In Germany, Hans, a fellow officer and old friend of Karl's, has found a way out of the same dilemma. But he knows - with chilling certainty - that his decision can only lead to death. And in Kiev, where the fighting is at its pitch, Katia, a doctor, tries to hold onto her old life as she waits anxiously for her husband's return from one of Stalin's labour camps. : Review: ‘Bielski's belief in the redemptive power of art and music, love and friendship, truth and beauty resonates throughout the novel' -- Observer: ‘Elusive, wholly original and moving' -- John le Carr?: ‘Powerful and movingly rendered … this story of human compassion is conveyed in a sparse, accurate, evocative prose' -- Gerard Woodward, Daily Telegraph : About the Author: Nella Bielski was born in the Ukraine and lives in Paris. She writes in French and is the author of several novels including Oranges for the Son of Alexander Levy and After Arkadia. She has also written for the cinema, Isabella, and for the theatre, A Question of Geography, which was staged by the RSC. John Berger was born in London in 1926.
