4.9/5 (9200 ratings)

Description:Reunion is the story of intense and innocent devotion between two young men growing up in "the soft, serene, bluish hills of Swabia," and the forces that end both their friendship and their childhood. It is a love story of sorts, and a tragedy that vindicates itself.The year is 1932. Hans Schwarz is Jewish, the son of a Stuttgart doctor who asserts that the rise of the Nazis is "a temporary illness, something like measles which will pass off as soon as the economic situation improves." His friend, the young Count Konradin von Hohenfels, has a mother who keeps a portrait of Hitler on her dressing table. The two boys share their most private thoughts, and trips to the countryside of southwest Germany; discuss poetry and the past and present of their country; and argue the existence of a benevolent God.The eventual disintegration of this cherished relationship foreshadows the fate of Europe's Jews—but Uhlman doesn't terminate his story with neat polarities. Years later, exiled in America, Schwarz comes upon a revelation about von Hohenfels which provides a stunning denouement and leaves the reader remembering Uhlman's haunting and lyrical descriptions of the vineyards, opera houses, and dark forests of Württemberg. "It is as if," writes Koestler in his introduction to the book, "Mozart had re-written the Götterdämmerung."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
