Hardback. Condition: Good. This fascinating work of fiction is based on the true story of the author's grandfather, Immanuel Birnbaum, the protagonist of the novel. Raised in a Jewish family, Immanuel was the son of a very well-known Jewish composer and cantor in the Konigsberg synagogue. Based in Warsaw during the 1930's, he was a journalist and wrote for some of the most important German language newspapers. After 1933 he was no longer allowed to contribute to German newspapers and in 1939, just months before the war broke out, he escaped to Sweden with his wife and two sons.The novel opens with Immanuel living as a refugee in Stockholm with his family. He continues to contribute articles to a liberal Swiss newspaper in Basel under the name Dr. B. and also begins to work as an editor for the legendary German publisher, S. Fischer Verlag. Gottfried Bermann Fischer established a Fischer office in exile, in Stockholm, to evade German censorship during the war, and published there some of the most celebrated writers in the German language: Thomas Mann, Stefan Zweig, among others. S. Fischer Verlag's books were then distributed in Germany by a sympathetic Dutch publisher.Immanuel Birnbaum also becomes involved, unwittingly, with British intelligence, a group of Englishmen who produce and distribute anti-Nazi propaganda in Stockholm. On orders from Winston Churchill, the group is soon planning to sabotage Sweden's transport of iron ore to Germany. They plot to blow up the Swedish trading port of Oxelösund and force neutral Sweden into the war. However, the Swedish postal service picks up a letter written in invisible ink, and the plotters are exposed. This letter, often mentioned in military history as a mysterious element in the story, was in fact written by Dr. B. But why on earth would he have wanted to tip off the Germans.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The former director of the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm makes his literary debut with this dramatic and riveting novel of book publishing, émigrés, spies, and diplomats in World War II Sweden based on his grandfather's life In 1933, after Hitler and the Nazi Party consolidated power in Germany, Immanuel Birnbaum, a German-Jewish journalist based in Warsaw, is forbidden from writing for newspapers in his homeland. Six years later, just months before the German invasion of Poland that ignites World War II, Immanuel escapes to Sweden with his wife and two young sons. Living as a refugee in Stockholm, Immanuel continues to write, contributing articles to a liberal Swiss newspaper under the name Dr. B. He becomes increasingly entangled with British intelligence agents who plan several acts of sabotage on the orders of Winston Churchill. But when the Swedish postal service picks up a letter written in invisible ink, clearly by Dr. B. himself, the Allied plotters are exposed. But could a Jew living in exile and targeted for death by the Nazis have wanted to tip them off? Illuminated by the wartime experiences of the author's grandfather, Dr. B. is a riveting story of émigrés, spies and diplomats that shines a light on a forgotten corner of World War II history. 'A superb thriller, a cross between Tom Stoppard's Travesties and The Thirty-Nine Steps . You can't put it down. This is an astonishing debut and Daniel Birnbaum is clearly a talent to look out for' The Jewish Chronicle 'If you're looking for a ridiculously brilliant story, you can stop looking .
