Sunset: Feuchtwanger, Brecht und das kalifornische Exil -der Roman einer ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft
Synopsis
World-famous and wealthy, but suspiciously shaded by the batches of the McCarthy era, Lion Feuchtwanger still lives in California exile in 1956 - the last of the great German emigrants. When the news of Bertolt Brecht's sudden death reaches him on an August morning, he is deeply shaken. He had discovered Brecht's genius, had encouraged him, had been closely connected to him. In silent conversation with the dead friend, Feuchtwanger calls the stations of this friendship awake, its beginning in the Munich of the Soviet Republic, the literary triumphs of the twenties, the escape and life in exile. From his memories, the driving springs of his own literary creation crystallize at the same time: the mourning for the daughter who died as an infant, his feelings of guilt and his ambition, the traumas of his childhood - and finally love and transience. At the end of the day, when the sun sinks into the silent ocean, the old Feuchtwanger is brightly aware of its strengths and weaknesses and has taken a balance of his own life.
