- Summary
- "This short powerhouse of a novel, set in Paris in the 1920s, follows the friendship between two 15-year-old schoolboys: one, a Gentile (the narrator), and the other, a Jew. Loyalties are tested as Silbermann becomes the target of the growing anti-Semitism that is spreading throughout French society. Ironically, the narrator's father is asked to preside over a case indicting Silbermann's father. In the end, a beloved friendship and familial bonds are undermined as idealism gives way to the painful realization of the moral compromises of adulthood."--BOOK JACKET.
