Middle-class, Jewish Hans finds himself charmed by Konradin, the young aristocrat in his class and they quickly become best friends. But it is 1932 and the boys live in a rapidly changing Germany. The rise of Hitler compromises their friendship irrevocably but their story does not truly end until many years after the war. Readers across the world have been devastated and moved by the shocking denouement of this beautiful and profound exploration of the nature of friendship and the impact of history on human relationships.

Biographie de Fred Uhlman

Fred Uhlman was born in Stuttgart, capital of Württemberg, in 1901. Reunion, written in 1960, is not an autobiographical book, although it contains autobiographical elements. The school, the teachers and the boys are true to life, based on the Eberhard-Ludwig Gymnasium, Württemberg's oldest and most famous grammar school, which the author attended. The boy in the story is, of course, me, he said, but I never had any friendship with a Hohenfels.
This part is purely fictional, and the Hohenfels are a composite picture of a few aristocratic boys and their parents. Fred Uhlman claims that it is Württemberg that made him into an artist and a poet, and left him a Romantic for life. This love of his birthplace, which Uhlman, then an anti-Nazi lawyer, had to leave in 1933, illuminates every line of Reunion. He died in 1985.
