The Many Faces of Resistance - an early work against the Hitler dictatorship. In her 1932 novel, Anna Seghers portrays men and women from Hungary, Poland, Italy, Bulgaria, and China who have dedicated themselves to the communist resistance. Their paths intersect casually, separate again, or take on a unique course, detached from one another and at times mirrored in each other. No matter how different their developments may be, the experiences they undergo, the decisions they face, and the associated feelings of fear and hope are universal and timeless. Seghers combines various modern narrative techniques into a martyr's chronicle and an important testimony of resistance prose from the early 20th century. This is a continuation of the major edition of Seghers' works, featuring commentary on passages and an afterword discussing the creation, narrative techniques, political intentions, and reception history.
