Description
Destiny's Journey by Alfred Döblin is a memoir that reconstructs his experiences during World War II. The book draws from notebooks kept while working in the French Ministry of Information and notes written after taking refuge in Los Angeles. Döblin's story stands out among those of Jewish intellectuals who fled Europe for America, as he converted to Catholicism in Los Angeles before returning to Europe as an officer with the French forces. This conversion narrative serves as a bridge between his departure from Paris in 1940 and his subsequent return. A magisterial account of Döblin's experiences, "Destiny's Journey" offers a gripping and detailed portrayal of life under Nazi rule and the struggles faced by those who sought refuge abroad.
