Address Unknown

A Novel

De: Kathrine Kressmann Taylor

Narrado por: Rob Shapiro, George Newbern

A rediscovered classic and international bestseller that recounts the gripping tale of a friendship destroyed at the hands of Nazi Germany

In this searing epistolary novel, Kathrine Kressmann Taylor brings vividly to life the insidious spread of Nazism through a series of letters between Max, a Jewish art dealer in San Francisco, and Martin, his friend and former business partner who has returned to Germany in 1932, just as Hitler is coming to power.

Originally published in Story magazine in 1938, Address Unknown became an international sensation. Credited with exposing the dangers of Nazism to American readers early on, it is also a scathing indictment of fascist movements around the world and a harrowing exposé of the power of the pen as a weapon.

A powerful and eloquent tale about the consequences of a friendship—and society—poisoned by extremism, Address Unknown remains hauntingly and painfully relevant today.

I have went there so many emotions

At first I was excited, then angry, then almost cried. I had to take a break when they were laughing and joking about scamming people. Then started again to think, “NO WAY”! Then my heart fell more and more and almost to tears. I have 14 minutes left and can to write this. It’s heavy in a good way. Everyone should read this. Makes me be more grateful for the things I do have. Wow… such an amazingly put together audio book

Amazing novel, every American should read it immediately

I read an article that mentioned this book. I had no idea of the impact it would have on me and should have on everyone living in the US today. This should be required reading for all high school students. Julie B
