Stefan Zweig: The House of Rothschild Avenue


Although I read Stefan Zweig: The House Rothschildallee on Thursday off, but only today I came to write a synopsis and a commentary about it.

In brief: The Frankfurt
cloth merchant Johann Isidor Sternberg is pleased that his older son at the outbreak of World War I volunteered. In October 1914, is Otto. Even this loss brings Johann Sternberg on it, to feel as a German patriot. He is convinced that he and most other Jews are integrated into German society. End of 1917 must see Sternberg, however, that he deceived added: Anti-Semitism in the German Reich is still widespread.
Stefanie Zweig does a lot of time, the unspectacular family history with a fine sense of humor in an elegant and understated language to tell. The novel "The House of Rothschild Avenue" begins on 27 January 1900, but played the bulk of 1914 to 1917.

the author about his book:
Some have portrayed in this book except Ordinary women also messy. In the selection but I felt something else: I was looking for exceptional individuals who violate gender role expectations in their current order, therefore not "properly" behave. The impressive examples readers - encourage them to go their own way instead of letting yourself go critical, because a democratic society depends on self-conscious individuals with their own opinions - and readers.
