Produktinformationen zu „The Emperor of Lies “
From one of Scandinavia's most critically acclaimed and bestselling authors, THE EMPEROR OF LIES chronicles the tale of Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski's monarchical rule over a quarter of a million Jews in the ghetto of the Polish city of Lódz. Driven by a titanic ambition, he sought to transform the ghetto into a productive industrial complex and strove to make it - and himself - indispensable to the Nazi regime. Drawing on the chronicles of life in the ghetto, Steve Sem-Sandberg captures the full panorama of human resilience, and questions the nature of evil.

Rezension zu „The Emperor of Lies “
"Mesmerizing...An irresistible work of fiction, absorbing from first page to last...Dickens would have been very pleased with this novel."--Carmen Callil, "The Guardian "(London)"Was Rumkowski a sinner or a saint? Collaborator or a liberator? It is around this central question that "The Emperor of Lies" swirls, providing along the way. . . cinematic detail that invites immersion in the way few contemporary novels of serious ambition do."--Daphne Merkin, "The New York Times Book Review""A resolute masterpiece, "The Emperor of Lies "looks for truths in the great domain of dissolving syntax and shadows we call history....A great achievement."--Sebastian Barry, "Salon"
