Los Effinger

At the end of the 19th century, Karl and Paul Effinger, sons of a modest Jewish watchmaker from Bavaria, arrive in Berlin in search of fortune. Over time, your small factory will prosper to become one of the pioneers in car production. Thanks also to his marriage to the sisters Klara and Annette Oppner, heirs to an important Berlin banking family, they will become one of the most respected and admired families in the city. This saga traces the lives of four generations from the radiant Germany of Bismarck to the dark years of World War II; its protagonists, Jews, ardent patriots and Prussians, will be swept away by the devastating currents of history. Polyphonic and as addictive as it is historically accurate, the novel records the drastic social and political changes in Europe at the time and their enormous impact on the intimate and family sphere. A deeply human portrait in which the lives of women and their conquest of a new role in modern society take on special relevance.
