Produktinformationen zu „Nemesis (ePub)“
Annie Ehrlich, a woman of a certain age, born in Munich is the only Holocaust survivor of her family. She is living contentedly with her husband and writes for various journals. Through her work she has contact with the publisher of Jacob Jabot, revisionist historian and fervent holocaust denier.
A chance meeting with this vile man convinces her that the world must be rid of him and that she must be the one to do it. At the Munich Opera House, during the performance of Gotterdammerung, Jabot falls into her honey trap and invites her home.
A dense phantasmagoria of sexual power play and revenge follows, during which the reader is taken on a journey through the darkest hours of European history as seen through the eyes of one of its hapless victims, through the post war years of rebuilding and rebirth and back into a present that flickers between the real and the imaginary, the desired and the feared.
Nemesis is at turns literary autobiography, wish fulfilment and poignant commentary on the basest human emotions by an author who herself lived through the madness of Nazi Germany.

Autoren-Porträt von Melanie Lowy
Melanie Lowy was born in Munich and came to England as a small child on the last Kindertransport in December 1938. She is the daughter of the celebrated Yiddish poet, Josef Hillel Levi. She has ghosted several novels for a well-known writer, has had poems and articles published and has written three more novels.She has taught English literature, German and French and was a photographic model in her youth. At sixteen she was offered a partial scholarship to RADA but her parents lacked sufficient funds and she began teaching and practised her love of acting at London’s famous Gateway theatre.
Over the past few years Melanie has been fighting a losing battle with macular degeneration, the eye disease for which no cure has as yet been found. So, the novels she had planned to write are awaiting another day as it is impossible for her to cope with modern appliances like computers.
Melanie is the author of Martha’s Book of Song and A Childhood Memoir, both published by Authorhouse.
