О книге

Book Description

Two Lives weaves together two extraordinary stories that comprise one astonishing love affair: that of Vikram"s great-uncle Shanti, brought up in India and sent in the 1930s to Berlin to study dentistry, and that of his great-aunt Henny, whose German-Jewish family took Shanti in as a lodger. When Henny fled to England just before the war, she was met by the only person she knew in the country: Shanti.

The events that shaped their lives shaped a century: war took Shanti toNorth Africa, the Middle East and the battle of Monte Cassino, where his right arm was blown off; persecution left Henny desperately searching for news of her mother and sister. After marrying Henny, Shanti defied his injury and once again resumed his profession, and in the 1970s the childless couple welcomed a new arrival to their home: their great-nephew from India, the teenage student, Vikram Seth.

Two Lives is a remarkable tapestry encompassing the history of the twentieth-century; partbiography, part memoir, part meditation on our times, it is a true tale masterfully told by one of our greatest living writers. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Two Lives CD (Vikram Seth)
