Baumgartner's Bombay - Paperback
Description
by Anita Desai (Author)
A "beautifully written, richly textured, and haunting story" (Chaim Potok)
Baumgartner's Bombay is Anita Desai's classic novel of the Holocaust era, a story of profound emotional wounds of war and its exiles. The novel follows Hugo Baumgartner as he flees Nazi Germany -- and his Jewish heritage -- for India, only to be imprisoned as a hostile alien and then released to Bombay at war's end. In this tale of a man who, "like a figure in a Greek tragedy . . . seems to elude his destiny" (New Leader), Desai's "capacious intelligence, her unsentimental compassion" (New Republic) reach their full height.
