William P Studer

The Pact with the Death of Emil Kosztka William P Studer

The author of the novel was born in 1957 in Germany, the son of a US military officer stationed in that country. He learned the story of a professor who had a year of war in the street of an exile. The story of the fascinating way that investigates the adventures of that teacher. When he gathered all the data he captured them in a novel, partly real, partly fiction, changing the names of the main characters. A cruel and stark novel, in which he wanted to portray the reality of a few years of extreme cruelty without taboos, and in which he wanted to reflect two truths that nobody talks about. The first, that the civilian population was aware of what was happening in the concentration camps, although for various reasons, it looked the other way. With the slave workers in the cities, it was a very difficult reality to hide. And the second, that the indiscriminate bombings of the allies at the end of the war were not to defeat already defeated enemies, but to scare the Soviets, to prevent them from conquering all of Europe and Japan. These two themes, together with the cruelty of war and the sadism with which people are killed in the concentration camps form the basis of a novel in the concessions, in which the German boom is described, and its decline to lose battle for the battle on the eastern front.
