One pother oversees the furniture chain founded by their grandfather, one is an eminent surgeon, one a respected critic. They are rich, cultured, liberal, and public spirited, proud inheritors of the German enlightenment. They don’t see Hitler as a threat. Then, to their horror, the Nazis come to power, and the Oppermanns and their children are faced with the terrible decision of whether to adapt—if they can—flee, or try to fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e Written in 1933, nearly in real time, \u003ci\u003eThe Oppermanns\u003c\/i\u003e captures the day-to-day vertigo of watching a liberal democracy fall apart. As Joshua Cohen writes in his introduction to this new edition, it is “one of the last masterpieces of German-Jewish culture.” Prescient and chilling, it has lost none of its power today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lion Feuchtwanger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":51362217459928,"sku":"9781946022332","price":27.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2770\/5320\/files\/cover-9781946022332.jpg?v=1770058591","url":"https:\/\/destiil.com\/fr\/products\/the-oppermanns","provider":"De Stiil Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
