«Todo en vano» is the historical novel by Walter Kempowski, published by Libros del Asteroide in paperback (360 pages, in Spanish).
East Prussia, January 1945: many Germans flee before the advance of the Red Army. In Georgenhof, Katharina von Globig takes in refugees such as a violinist sympathetic to Nazism, a Baltic aristocrat, or a Jewish fugitive. Their testimonies offer different perspectives on the war and the future as tragedy approaches.
«Todo en vano» was originally published in German as «Alles umsonst» in 2006 and appeared in Spanish in 2020 with a translation by Carlos Fortea; it is number 236 in the Libros del Asteroide collection.
For readers of historical fiction and twentieth-century German literature seeking a choral perspective on the end of the Second World War.
Walter Kempowski was a German writer. Kempowski was known for his series of novels called German Chronicle and the monumental Echolot ("Sonar"), a collage of autobiographical reports, letters and other documents by contemporary witnesses of the Second World War.
