Three Faces of an Angel

Přečtená

It strikes me that Josef Brehme lived in an epoch when time still proceeded in a straight line from the past to the future, muses his grandson, the talented, handsome and cynical Alex Brehme in his diary in late 2001. Three Faces of an Angel is a novel about the twentieth century that begins when time was linear and ended when the notion of progress was less well defined. The Brehmes’ story guides the reader through revolution, war, the holocaust, and ultimately exile and return. A novel about what man does to man and whether God intervenes. With a foreword by Dr Marketa Goetz-Stankiewicz, Professor Emerita in the Department of Central, Eastern and Northern European Studies at the University of British Columbia.
