{"product_id":"books-heimat-by-nora-krug","title":"Heimat","description":"The German bestseller - a powerful and deeply affecting graphic memoir that explores identity, guilt and the meaning of home   Winner of Moira Gemmill Illustrator of the Year Winner of Book Illustration prize at the V\u0026amp;A Illustration Awards   Winner of the The National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography Winner of the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize  Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing  Shortlisted for the Longman History Today Prize   One of the Guardian's '50 Biggest Books of Autumn 2018' The New York Times Critics' Top Books of 2018  Nora  Krug grew up as a second-generation German after the end of the Second  World War, struggling with a profound ambivalence towards her country's  recent past. Travelling as a teenager, her accent alone evoked raw  emotions in the people she met, an anger she understood, and shared.   Seventeen  years after leaving Germany for the US, Nora Krug decided she couldn't  know who she was without confronting where she'd come from. In Heimat,  she documents her journey investigating the lives of her family members  under the Nazi regime, visually charting her way back to a country still  tainted by war. Beautifully illustrated and lyrically told, Heimat is a  powerful meditation on the search for cultural identity, and the  meaning of history and home.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673624862993,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780141980102.jpg?v=1781527180","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-heimat-by-nora-krug","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
