Penned in 1929, this autobiographical novel narrates the
experiences of a young poet from Oxford vacationing in Germany.
Addressing themes such as sexual morality, naturism, and fascism,
the novel focuses on the protagonist's spontaneous reaction to the
social and cultural atmosphere of the Weimar Republic, a paradise
that would promptly disappear under Nazi rule. With increasing
tension, lazy afternoons filled with hiking and swimming and nights
spent drinking and dancing at nightclubs slowly give way to the
growing Nazi threat being felt among the youth the protagonist
befriends. "Escrita en 1929, esta novela autobiografica narra las
vivencias de un joven poeta de Oxford durante unas vacaciones en
Alemania. Tratando temas tales como la moralidad sexual, el
naturismo y el facismo, la novela se enfoca sobre la reaccion
espontanea del narrador ante el universo social y cultural de la
Republica de Weimar, un paraiso que pronto desapareceria bajo el
yugo del nazismo. Con una tension creciente, tardes perezosas de
excursiones y natacion y noches llenas de copas y bailes lentamente
le ceden el paso a la creciente amenaza nazi que comienza a dejarse
sentir entre los jovenes con los cuales el protagonista se hace
amigos."
