«Inconnu à cette adresse» is the epistolary novel by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor, published by Editions Autrement in paperback (64 pages, in French).
Set between 1932 and 1934, the work recreates the exchange of letters between Martin Schulse, a German who returns to his country, and Max Eisenstein, an American Jew, partners in an art gallery in San Francisco. As National Socialism gains power, the correspondence reflects how Nazi ideology sows distrust and ultimately breaks the friendship.
Originally written in English with the title «Address Unknown» and published in 1938, it was translated into French by Michèle Lévy-Bram.
For readers of historical fiction and twentieth-century classics interested in the rise of Nazism and interwar Germany.
