Here is "a rich and lyrical masterpiece"–notes Peter Constantine–the first translation of a lost treasure by acclaimed author H. G. Adler, a survivor of Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. Written in 1950, after Adler's emigration to England, The Journey was ignored by large publishing houses after the war and not released in Germany until 1962. Depicting the Holocaust in a unique and deeply moving way, and avoiding specific mention of country or camps–even of Nazis and Jews–The Journey is a poetic nightmare of a family's ordeal and one member's survival. Led by the doctor patriarch Leopold, the Lustig family finds itself "forbidden" to live, enduring in a world in which "everyone was crazy, and once they finally recognized what was happening it was too late." Linked by its innovative style to the work of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, The Journey portrays the unimaginable in a way that anyone interested in recent history and modern literature must read.

The Journey
This is a rare gem of a book, not for the faint hearted or casual reader. Sebald aficionados will see where W.G. got his flair for the art of insinuation and the use of parable, as well as his inclination for crystal clear prose.
H.G.Adler, a survivor of two concentration camps, has managed to fictionalize the experience of persecution and displacement, making it resonate for all historical periods, times, circumstances, people. This is a deeply humane expression of literature, a significant and demanding read that will stay with the reader and hit a nerve, hopefully teaching us to do our best never to repeat these dark times again.
