"Back in Berlin." A major lost post-war novel. Between zero hour and the economic miracle: A Jewish exile returns to Berlin to confront his past. In the destroyed yet vibrant city, he faces a task he never anticipated. The Londoner Eric Devon is actually Erich Dalburg, who grew up in Berlin-Grunewald. During World War II, the young Jewish resistance fighter had to leave everything behind. Only his wife Nora, a Brit, and a close American journalist friend know about his German roots. They persuade him to travel to Berlin together. Hesitantly, Eric embarks on the journey, and soon the three stand before his childhood home. It is inhabited by an aunt who holds Eric partly responsible for his father's death. However, he must revise his perception of the past.
