Description
The Promised Land by Erich Maria Remarque is a poignant and powerful novel about an emigrant's experience in New York during World War II. Left unfinished at his death, this final work tells the story of a refugee's precarious life, lived in hotel lobbies, with false passports, and in a community bound together by a shared past.
For Ludwig Somner, each new luxury - from ice cream served in drugstores to bright shop windows and art - brings a bittersweet edge. Memories of war and inhumanity continue to resurface even in this peaceful promised land, where the lines between freedom and hardship are constantly blurred.
