A story that could be for any generation
Lessons to listen to an understand as a businessman, persecuted because of his creed, in a time of oppression and fear is harassed not only physically but also mentally in Nazi Germany in 1938. The main character, Otto, considers himself to be a good German citizen but is acutely aware he doesn’t have credibility or voice in a brutal society where normality is to look the other way. It’s a tale of uncertainly and lack of self belief when all around must be shrouded in confidence and the determination to survive. Ultimately the ‘system’ wins, the doubts flow into mental anguish and the true feelings of exhaustion and simply giving way to hopelessness are paramount. A fantastic read, a journey that many persecuted people would recognise and a book, though written in 1938 resonates very much today in not only dictatorial regimes, but sadly and increasingly in those states claiming to be democratic. It would include our own and we only have to scratch the surface to see it.

A book for our times
Although written in the early 1930s in Weimar Germany, thus really is a book for our times. It portrays, somewhat autobiographivally, the author as he struggles to overcome the problems of a Berlin, and Germany beset with economic difficulties.
It plots the day to day issues of inflation and joblessness. It deals with human frailties and disappointment as 'what needs must'. It also covers the decadenace and sheer carelessness (callousness?) brought about by the end of the first war and the severe financial constraints put on Germany in the aftermath. The moralist - the author - is truly that person who sees all around him disintegrate and yet still clings to a life of common decency that gets him in the end. He desks with the political anarchy of the times and the deep dark shadow that being cast in Germany and Europe. I'd urge people to embrace this as a book of thought provoking actions and thoughts and certainly one to cherish.
