Meanwhile, on September 11, 2001, aboard a small cruise ship, a scientific conference takes place to pay tribute to renowned East German mathematician Paul Heudeber, a committed communist and anti-fascist, and a survivor of the camps at Buchenwald.The tension grows between these two narrative threads, and--pulled together in Mathias Énard's enchanting, brilliant, erudite prose--time itself seems to become tightly interwoven, drawn together by the immense stakes of love and politics, loyalty and belief, hope and survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mathias Enard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.95\" H x 5.35\" L x 0.79\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780811239011\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50576277111088,"sku":"9780811239011","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780811239011.jpg?v=1784241034","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/the-deserters-mathias-enard-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
