Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia, PA: Triangle Books. Very Good- in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1942. Reprint. Hardcover. This book is in Very Good- condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. There is some beginning fading / toning to the book covers. The text pages are clean, but noticeably toned due to the acid content of the paper. The dust jacket has several small edge nicks and tears. The dust jacket cover features Spencer Tracy in a still from the movie of the same name. This is a movie tie-in / fictionalization of the movie and of the German novel by Anna Seghers. "The year is 1936. Seven prisoners escape from the fictitious Westhofen concentration camp near Worms, Germany near the Rhine. They represent a cross-section of German society: a writer, a circus performer, a schoolmaster, a farmer, a Jewish grocery clerk, and two prisoners who are apparently political activists. One is George Heisler (Spencer Tracy) and the other his mentor Wallau (Ray Collins) , the leader of the group." .
Sinopsis
Anna Seghers' novel The Seventh Cross (Das siebte Kreuz), is one of the better-known examples of German literature circa World War II. It was published first in America, in an abridged version, in September 1942 by Little, Brown and Company. Its publication was surrounded by a certain amount of fanfare; by the end of September, there were already plans for a comic strip version of The Seventh Cross, it having already been selected as a Book-of-the-Month Club book.
