Review

»The Fontane experts Gabriele Radecke and Robert Rauh make full use of everything. And in their books they bring Fontane to new life.« the tagesspiegel

Description

It was Fontane's most dangerous journey. The writer and journalist was arrested as a Prussian spy in the fall of 1870 while researching the Franco-Prussian War and had to fear being sentenced to death by a court martial. The fact that he was ultimately released was thanks to the diplomatic intrigue in which Bismarck was also involved. Gabriele Radecke and Robert Rauh tell the spectacular case from two perspectives: Fontane's dramatic odyssey through France's fortresses and the desperate rescue efforts of his friends in Berlin. They not only take the reader to the original locations, but also use unknown notes, letters and documents to reveal what Fontane kept silent in his autobiographical book “Prisoners of War”.
