Reencuentro: Reunion

Two sixteen year-olds are classmates in an elite high school. Hans is Jewish and Konradin is a rich aristocrat, a member of one of the oldest families in Europe. An intense friendship begins and they become inseparable. Barely a year later, however, there will be nothing more between them. We are in Germany in 1933 and, following Hitler's ascent to power, Konradin becomes a member of the Nazi armed forces, while Hans must go into exile. Just a few years later, already settled in the United States, where he tries to forget the sinister episode hat has sourly separated them, he meets up with Hans, his lost friend, once more. This small masterpiece has the same force to move readers as it did when it was first published in 1960.
