«Inconnu à cette adresse» is the epistolary novel by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor, published by Livre de Poche Jeunesse in paperback (93 pages, in French).
Through letters exchanged between 1932 and 1934, the novel follows Max, an American, and Martin, a German who settles in an impoverished Germany as Nazism grows. The distance between them widens because Max is Jewish and because Martin changes; the work portrays broken friendship, betrayal and intolerance.
The French translation is by Michèle Lévy-Bram; this edition was published on August 13, 2007 and the recommended reading age is 9 to 12 years.
Due to its brevity and epistolary style, it works as a first approach to literature on the rise of Nazism.
