House of Exile

Description:

"In 1933 the writer and political activist Heinrich Mann, meticulously dressed in a suit, starched collar and bow tie, escaped from Germany carrying nothing more than an umbrella and a briefcase filled with manuscripts. Soon, he knew, the Nazis would come for him. He never saw his homeland again..." -- p [2] of cover.
