Thomas Berger’s debut novel of a young man tumultuously coming of
age in postwar Germany Carlo Reinhart, a young American army medic
stationed in Germany, confronts a disturbing new world following the
end of World War II. Living in Berlin, a city fractured into
barricaded sectors by the occupying powers, Reinhart begins to drive
himself mad with memories of the evils he has witnessed and questions
about how the atrocities took place. When he meets an idealistic Jew
named Nathan Schild, Reinhart’s turmoil grows more acute. Schild
works for both the Americans and the Russians, and he becomes a
flashpoint for Reinhart’s anguish over the world’s vast
contradictions. When Schild’s escapades lead to a powerful turning
point, Reinhart is forced to come to terms with life’s ambiguities
as well as with his own evolving identity. This ebook features an
illustrated biography of Thomas Berger including rare images and
never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal
collection.
