Titel: Almost a Childhood
Auteur: Hans-Georg Behr, Hans-Georg Behr
ISBN: 9781862077812
Conditie: Als nieuw

Hans-Georg Behr experienced a remarkable childhood in wartime Austria. His liberal, artistic grandparents belonged to the aristocracy; his mother was a celebrated opera singer; and his father a prominent industrialist. His parents were also rabid Nazis, and the high office his father held in the Ministry of Aviation brought the young Hans-Georg into contact with 'Uncle Josef' Goebbels, 'Uncle Hermann' Goring, and 'Uncle Adolf' himself. As the war advances, their world begins to collapse, though the writer has only a child's grasp of the reasons why?his older half-brother confronts Russian soldiers with his air-rifle and Hitler Youth uniform and is killed, and his half-sister swallows cyanide. Later his grandparents' estate is wrecked by the advancing Russians, while his mother, no longer able to perform, ends up serving in a bar, where her son collects the glasses. The book was hailed as a literary triumph when it appeared in Germany for the way in which Behr recaptures the freshness of his own childhood perceptions and its flashes of darkly ironic humor.
