Description
A small masterpiece of world literature, set in Europe months before the Nazis began their rise. It is spring 1939 and Badenheim, a resort town vaguely in the orbit of Vienna, is preparing for its summer season. The town's residents and guests arrive, each with their own stories and struggles. As the summer progresses, the lines between vacation and confinement begin to blur. The town's familiar rhythms are disrupted by the arrival of new guests, including those who are not on vacation at all. The residents and guests become increasingly entangled, their lives taking on the shape of undefined disaster. Author Aharon Appelfeld created a world in Badenheim 1939 that has only gained power for readers since its publication in 1980.
