Synopsis "Reunion (Panther) "

From the publishers of Stoner and Revolutionary Road, comes Reunion -- a forgotten classic and a novel of universal value. Reunion is a little-known novel. But it is also a universal story of friendship. It is a book of great power, waiting to be discovered. On a grey afternoon in 1932, a Stuttgart classroom is stirred by the arrival of a newcomer. Middle-class Hans is intrigued by the aristocratic new boy, Konradin, and before long they become best friends. It's a friendship of the greatest kind, of shared interests and long conversations, of hikes in the German hills and growing up together. But the boys live in a changing Germany. Powerful, delicate and daring, Reunion is a story of the fragility, and strength, of the bonds between friends. "I loved Reunion and found it very moving." --John Boyne • WITH AN AFTERWORD BY RACHEL SEIFFERT

Fred Uhlman (Stuttgart, 1901-London, 1985), of Jewish origin, left Germany in March 1933, shortly after Hitler was appointed chancellor. He lived for a while in Paris and later in Spain (in Tossa de Mar), from where he also fled when the civil war broke out, and after returning to Paris for a few months, he reached London; there he founded the Artist’s Refugee Committee and the Free German League of Culture, among whose members were Oskar Kokoschka and Stefan Zweig. In 1971 he published Reunion, and in 1985 his "response", A Courageous Soul.
