Beschreibung

<p><b>In post-war Brooklyn, three lives are drawn together by love, guilt and an unbearable secret. </b><br><br>In the summer of 1947, Stingo, an inexperienced twenty-two-year-old Southerner, arrives at a boarding house in a leafy Brooklyn suburb. <br><br>There he meets Nathan, a fiery Jewish intellectual, and Sophie, a beautiful and fragile Polish Catholic. Drawn into the centre of their passionate and destructive relationship, Stingo becomes witness, confidant and supplicant as love, jealousy and emotional volatility gather around them. <br><br>At the heart of the novel lies Sophie's past: pre-war Poland, the concentration camp and the choice that has shaped the rest of her life. <br><br>National Book Award-winning Sophie's Choice is a modern literary classic about survivor's guilt, memory, desire, betrayal and moral consequence. Moving between post-war Brooklyn and the devastation of Europe, William Styron's novel is compassionate, controversial and profoundly searching. <br><br><b>A classic Second World War novel and a work of historical literary fiction, it asks how love, guilt and survival can shape a life after catastrophe. </b></p>
