A gripping historical novel. The Munich museum director Martin Krüger has made himself unpopular. Some people would like to see him gone. The perjury trial that is brought against him does not end well for him. However, he has friends who try to prove his innocence. "The novel 'Erfolg' is more than just 'the book of Bavaria'; it expands into a story of the general German conditions during the era of the rising Nazism." Victor Klemperer.
