Specifikacia An Ordinary Youth Kempowski Walter
A provocative novel about growing up in Nazi Germany, as seen through the eyes of a child witnessing the spread of intolerance and political unrest in his town.An Ordinary Youth is a novel drawn directly from Walter Kempowski's boyhood in Rostock, Germany, at the height of the Nazi regime. For Walter, whose family is moving house when the novel opens, the interest is in his tin soldiers and older brother's jazz records, his father's fluctuating moods, and his mother's ministrations and anxieties. The Kempowskis are a close-knit, affectionate family, with their own private jokes and stories, breakfast routines and dinner quarrels; despite the packing crates, everything seems in its rightful place, and no one, least of all Walter, suspects the coming cataclysm. In place of a coherent literary narrative, Kempowski brings the past to life through a choir of voices:
