It will take hold of both head and heart.” \u003cbr\u003e“What must be emphasized here is that this is no merely sound journalistic piece. It is a great story regardless of time or place or immediate circumstances. It is a great story because it contains all the elements of storytelling that have gone to make great stories from time immemorial.” \u003cbr\u003e“A tremendously powerful piece of work, with a wallop at the end of the kind that Poe, Maupassant, Ibanez, Bierce and O. Henry made famous in their time.” \u003cbr\u003e“A short story with a long, dark echo; fierce, clever, and timely in today’s world.” \u003cbr\u003e“This modern story is perfection itself. It is the most effective indictment of Nazism to appear in fiction.” \u003cbr\u003e“A tale already known and profoundly appreciated by members of my generation. It is to our part in World War II what \u003cem\u003eUncle Tom’s Cabin\u003c\/em\u003e was to the Civil War.” \u003cbr\u003e“That this short, fleeting story has lasted so long is not only because of its artistic achievement, and not only because, written in 1938, it astonishingly anticipated the horror that was yet to come. It is because its prescience is not confined to its time. It saw into our own future too.” \u003cbr\u003e“Captivating, beautiful and unimaginably powerful, a book for our times.” \u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eAddress Unknown\u003c\/em\u003e serves not only as a reminder of Nazi horrors but as a cautionary tale in light of current racial, ethnic, and nationalistic intolerance.” \u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eAddress Unknown\u003c\/em\u003e will leave you breathless with admiration.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780063068490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41133203652814,"sku":"9780063068490","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780063068490.jpg?v=1650518287","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780063068490","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
