{"product_id":"books-death-in-rome-by-wolfgang-koeppen","title":"Death In Rome","description":"In Rome, four members of a German family are reunited by chance. A young composer, Siegfried; his estranged father, Freidrich, who held office under the Nazis and is once more making his way in public life, this time as a democratically elected burgomeister; Siegfried's uncle, Judejahn, an unrepentant former SS general; and Judejahn's renegade son, Adolf, who is preparing himself for the Catholic priesthood. The four men recount their separate experiences in music, bureaucracy, arms and religion - and, taken together, they personify the German soul. Death in Rome is a history book, a family book, a book about the battle over who gets to represent the authentic face of post-war Germany. It is a devastating and brilliant evocation of an entire nation.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671911260433,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781862075894.jpg?v=1781517715","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-death-in-rome-by-wolfgang-koeppen","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
