Publisher's Synopsis
The Seventh Cross is a novel written by Anna Seghers, set in Nazi Germany during the 1930s. The story follows the escape of seven political prisoners from a concentration camp, and the subsequent hunt for them by the Gestapo. The main character, George Heisler, is one of the escapees, and the novel chronicles his journey as he tries to evade capture and find safety. Along the way, he meets various individuals who help him, including a woman named Leni, who becomes his ally and confidante. The novel explores themes of resistance, survival, and the human spirit in the face of oppression. As Heisler and his fellow escapees struggle to survive, they also confront the moral dilemmas of whether to fight back against the Nazis or simply try to survive. The Seventh Cross is a powerful and moving novel that offers a vivid portrayal of life under Nazi rule, and the courage and resilience of those who dared to resist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
