W ogrodzie bestii

by: Erik Larson (author)

4.00 10

Amerykański ambasador William E. Dodd przyjeżdża do Niemiec z żoną, synem oraz...

pełną temperamentu córką Marthą. Początkowo Martha jest urzeczona licznymi przyjęciami i towarzyszącą im pompą, oczarowana przez przystojnych młodych mężczyzn, obywateli III Rzeszy, z ich zaraźliwym entuzjazmem dla uczynienia z Niemiec światowej potęgi.
W miarę jak prześladowania Żydów przybierają na sile, a główni bohaterowie książki stają się ich naocznymi świadkami, ambasador Dodd zaczyna alarmować amerykański Departament Stanu. Ten jednak pozostaje obojętny…
W czasach gęstniejącego mroku, Doddowie przeżyją dni pełne ekscytacji, intryg i romansów – aby ostatecznie z przerażeniem ujrzeć kulminację przemocy i morderstw, demaskujących prawdziwy charakter Hitlera i jego bezwzględnych dążeń.

This is the second of Larson's books that I've read, and I have to say that I liked this one a lot more. I suspect it's because he wasn't trying to parallel two stories (one of them a gorefest). This story is primarily about Ambassador William Dodd, an unlikely man for a foreign post, and his fa...

text In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin

This was a really readable history of the handful of years leading up to Hitler's seizure of power in pre-WWII Germany. It's from the perspective of the American ambassador to Germany, who was of course station in Berlin, so he and his family had the unique point of view of a fairly privileged posit...

text Review: In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson

In this book, Larson takes one family and tells the story of the rise of Hitler through how it touched this family. Ambassador Dodd was possibly in over his head as soon as he arrived in Germany in 1933, but many who saw the signs of oncoming terror refused to believe them or weren't sure what to do...

Did not finish (8%). I was really excited to read this, but couldn't continue wasting my time on it when there are other books that probably won't make me want to peel my eyes out of my skull in boredom.As stated by a few other reviewers, Erik Larson somehow manages to make a fascinating year in Ger...
