› Find signed collectible books: 'Höret die Stimme.'Book summary:Dies ist die Geschichte Jirmijahs aus Anathot, des Propheten Jeremias also, aber es ist zugleich ein Meneteckel, ein Mahnwort gegen alle unverantwortlich herrschende Gewalt. Franz Werfel hat den Roman vom Leben und Leiden des großen Propheten eingebettet in eine Rahmenhandlung aus der Zeit der Entstehung des Romans, 1936, und ihn damit weit über das religiöse Thema hinausgehoben; er hat der als Imperativ wirkende Titel verdeutlicht das in einer Zeit totalitärer Herrschaft in Deutschland einen verschlüsselten Aufruf verfaßt, Widerstand zu leisten, aufzubegehren gegen die Staatsgewalt, gegen Selbstsicherheit und Selbstzufriedenheit der Mächtigen.
So gesehen wird der Nebukadnezar des Romans leicht mit Adolf Hitler vergleichbar, werden die Leiden Jeremias als die der Juden Deutschlands verstanden, wird die Zerstörung Jerusalems und des Tempels 586 v. Chr. als apokalyptisches Bild für die Zukunft Europas zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus erkennbar. Werfel reagierte mit diesem Bekenntnis aber auch zugleich auf Vorwürfe gegenüber seiner, des Juden, offen geäußerter Sympathie für das katholische Christentum wie gegenüber der Tatsache, daß er zu den Aktivitäten der neuen Machthaber in Deutschland lange geschwiegen hatte.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Forty Days of Musa Dagh'Book summary:This stirring, poignant novel, based on real historical events that made of actual people true heroes, unfolds the tragedy that befell the Armenian people in the dark year of 1915. The Great War is raging through Europe, and in the ancient, mountainous lands southwest of the Caspian Sea the Turks have begun systematically to exterminate their Christian subjects. Unable to deny his birthright or his people, one man, Gabriel Bagradianborn an Armenian, educated in Paris, married to a Frenchwoman, and an officer doing his duty as a Turkish subject in the Ottoman armywill strive to resist death at the hands of his blood enemy by leading 5,000 Armenian villagers to the top of Musa Dagh, the mountain of Moses. There, for forty days, in the face of almost certain death, they will suffer the siege of a Turkish army hell-bent on genocide. A passionate warning against the dangers of racism and scapegoating, and prefiguring the ethnic horrors of World War II, this important novel from the early 1930s remains the only significant treatment, in fiction or nonfiction, of the first genocide in the twentieth centurys long series of inhumanities. It also continues to be today what the New York Times deemed it in 1933 a true and thrilling novel ... a story which must rouse the emotions of all human beings. Musa Dagh gives us a lasting sense of participation in a stirring episode of history.... Magnificent. The New York Times Book Review A novel full of the breath, the flesh and blood and bone and spirit of life. Saturday Review[via]More editions of The Forty Days of Musa Dagh:

The Song of Bernadetteby Franz Werfel , Ludwig LewisohnISBN 1586171712 (1-58617-171-2)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Song of Bernadette'Book summary:This is the famous and highly acclaimed classic work that tells the true story surrounding the miraculous visions of St. Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes, France in 1858. Werfel, a highly respected literary writer who was an outspoken anti-Nazi from Vienna, became a Jewish refugee who barely escaped death from the Nazis in 1940, and wrote this moving story to fulfill a promise he made to God. Thus the story of how this book about a miracle came to be written is in itself something of a miracle.
As he and his wife were hiding out in the little village of Loudres while trying to escape to freedom in the USA during WWII, Werfel felt the Nazi noose tightening around them and realizing that they might well be caught and executed, he made a promise to God to write about the "song of Bernadette" that he had been deeply inspired by during their clandestine stay Lourdes.
An amazing aspect of this powerful portrayal of a Catholic saint and an essentially Catholic story is that Werfel was a rather secular Jew, and yet he was so deeply impressed by both Bernadette and the happenings at Lourdes, that his writing has a profound sense of Catholicism's sacramental imagination about the world.
