One brother oversees the furniture chain founded by their grandfather, one is an eminent surgeon, one a respected critic. They are rich, cultured, liberal, and public spirited, proud inheritors of the German enlightenment. They don't see Hitler as a threat. Then, to their horror, the Nazis come to power, and the Oppermanns and their children are faced with the terrible decision of whether to adapt--if they can--flee, or try to fight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written in 1933, nearly in real time, \u003ci\u003eThe Oppermanns\u003c\/i\u003e captures the day-to-day vertigo of watching a liberal democracy fall apart. As Joshua Cohen writes in his introduction to this new edition, it is \"one of the last masterpieces of German-Jewish culture.\" Prescient and chilling, it has lost none of its power today.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"McNally Editions","offers":[{"title":"Oppermanns | Lion Feuchtwanger | Paperback | 9781946022332 | New | Fiction 1471083","offer_id":50566040846594,"sku":"1471083","price":36.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/51iKX_nU2LL.jpg?v=1790777378","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/oppermanns","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
