Synopsis
The story of a life of commitment, idealism, and unswerving courage, this text is the story of literary agent Ruth Liepman. Spanning two world wars, Liepman's story tells of her experiences with the Communist party in Germany, of the need to flee Hitler's Germany because of her political beliefs, and of her brave and vital work helping many refugees flee from Germany. Interspersed with these recollections are Liepman's many thoughts and reflections on her years working with books and authors.

Hardcover. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. vii, [1], 125, [3] p. Jewish Lives series. Footnotes. With a Historical Postscript by Inge Marssolek. Translated from a WIkipedia posting: "Ruth Liepman (1909-2001) grew up as the daughter of a Jewish doctor family in Hamburg and studied law. As a communist, she received in 1933 disbarment. In 1934, she was charged with treason and fled into exile in Holland, where she was involved in politics until she went into hiding in 1943. After the war she returned to Hamburg, married and founded the first literary agency in postwar Germany. In 1961 she moved to Zurich, where the prestigious agency Liepman to this day has its headquarters." Very good. No dust jacket. Minor sticker residue at back cover. Presumed first U.S. English Language edition/first printing. Seller Inventory # 69742
