内容简介
An anti-fascist novel acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic, The Mortal Storm was Phyllis Bottome's dramatic warning against the warmongering, anti-semitism, and misogyny of the Nazis.Highlighting Bottome's prolific writing career and lifelong humanitarian activism, The Mortal Storm tells the story of a German family -- a Jewish father, an aristocratic mother, two stepsons who have just joined the Nazi Party, a daughter in medical school, and a young, impressionable son -- during the early months of the Nazi rise to power. While tracing the Nazi takeover and the fracturing of German society, Bottome paints a moving portrait of a family united by love but divided by political belief and cultural identity.
