Two masterfully told large novels by the late Erich Maria Remarque. After a long flight from Nazi Germany, the regime-critical journalist Robert Ross finally reaches the supposed paradise of America in 1944. However, despite his love for the beautiful Russian Natascha, he remains a stranger in the new world. A great novel about the love of art, the alienation in exile, and the longing for home. This posthumous novel by Remarque has previously only been available in a heavily abridged and editorially distorted version. It is now published for the first time in the fully reconstructed original version.
