Thus begins an epic bildungsroman about the life of Ruven Preuk, son of the wainwright, child of a sleepy village in Germany's north, where life is both simple and harsh.Ruven, though, is neither. He has the ability to see sounds, leading him to discover an uncanny gift for the violin. When he meets a talented teacher in the Jewish quarter, Ruven falls under the spell of a prodigious future. But as the twentieth century looms, Ruven's pursuit of his craft takes a turn. In The Last Country, Svenja Leiber spins a tale that moves from the mansions of a disappearing aristocracy to a communist rebellion, from a joyous village wedding to a Nazi official's threats, from the First World War to the Second. As the world Ruven knows disappears, the gifted musician must grapple with an important question: to what end has he devoted himself to his art?'--Dust jacket. 546 $a Translated from the German. 586 $a "Winner of the 2015 Arno Reinfrank Literaturpreis"--Amazon.com 650 0 $a Conduct of life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Musicians $z Germany $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish families $z Germany, Northern $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jews $z Germany, Northern $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany, Northern $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a German fiction $y 21st century $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Conduct of life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00874563 650 7 $a German fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941384 650 7 $a Jewish families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982765 650 7 $a Jews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983135 650 7 $a Musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030837 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a Germany, Northern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692617 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726536 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 700 1 $a Knight, Nika, $e translator. 830 0 $a German list. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017024701.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=936C6364580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
