INCONNU A CETTE ADRESSE

Two German men, one Jewish, their friendship seems unbreakable. They expatriate to found an art gallery in California, but in 1932 Martin returns to Germany. Through their exchanged letters, Max becomes the powerless witness to a subtle, terrifying moral contamination as Martin appears to be gradually swept up by the ideologies of the Third Reich. The sense of betrayal is immense; the tragedy has only just begun. This text, with extraordinary force and a luminous conclusion, found instant success when first published in the United States in 1938 in Story magazine. It was rediscovered sixty years later through the French translation published by Autrement, which sold half a million copies, and is today regarded as a classic of the twentieth century.
