The German Martin Schulze and the American Jew Max Eisenstein run a thriving art gallery in the USA. In 1932, Schulze decides to return to Germany with his family. The two write letters to each other, assuring each other of their friendship, reminiscing with amusement and exchanging private and professional matters. At the beginning, Schulze was still critical of the rise of the National Socialists, but he soon became an avowed National Socialist. As political events unfold over the next year and a half, Max gets to know completely new sides of his friend, and a story full of dramatic and surprising twists and turns unfolds. A review in the New York Times Book Review said: "This modern story is perfection itself. It is the most powerful indictment of National Socialism imaginable in literature." Its late publication in Germany in 2000 was a literary sensation.
