Joseph ben Matthias, Judæan aristocrat and Jerusalem Temple priest of the first rank, steps out into the boundless, magnificent city of Rome. He's clever, handsome, fêted by his Jewish hosts, and on a righteous mission to free three venerable old Jews wrongfully imprisoned as rebels. Joseph secures an audience with Nero's beautiful young Empress, Poppæa. Charmed by Joseph's zeal, she asks the Minister of Oriental Affairs to release the prisoners. The Minister seizes the opportunity to trade his assent for an edict guaranteed to outrage and mobilize the Jews of Judæa; Rome needs an excuse to comprehensively crush ongoing Jewish resistance. His scheme bears fruit. In the year 66 Judæa revolts. Led by canny old commander Vespasian, Roman forces prevail until only the fortified city of Jerusalem remains in the hands of Jewish rebels. Vespasian is acclaimed Emperor and returns to Rome, leaving the siege to his son Titus. Weeks drag by. Jerusalem, with its lofty, magnificent Temple, becomes to the besieging Romans a symbol of obdurate Jewish arrogance to be overthrown. Rebel commander, Roman captive and Flavian protégé, Josephus, long reviled as a traitor and Roman toady, is portrayed by Feuchtwanger with clear-eyed empathy as a complex, brilliant man whose desire to become a "citizen of the world" conflicts with his Jewish identity. It was Joseph's destiny, however, to become a fierce defender in Rome of the unique importance of Jewish contribution to humanity, and to become known as the first-century historian Flavius Josephus and the author of "The Jewish War."

"In the foment of Weimar-era Berlin, the Oppermann brothers represent tradition and stability. One brother oversees the furniture chain founded by their grandfather, one is an eminent surgeon, one a respected critic. They are rich, cultured, liberal, and public spirited, proud inheritors of the German enlightenment. They don't see Hitler as a threat. Then, to their horror, the Nazis come to power, and the Oppermanns and their children are faced with the terrible decision of whether to adapt - if they can - flee, or try to fight. Written in 1933, nearly in real time, The Oppermanns captures the day-to-day vertigo of watching a liberal democracy fall apart. As Joshua Cohen writes in his introduction to this new edition, it is "one of the last masterpieces of German-Jewish culture." Prescient and chilling, it has lost none of its power today."--

Den judiska familjen Oppermann har levt i Berlin i fem generationer. Nu består familjen av syskonen Gustav, Martin, Edgar och Klara. Gustav är författare, Martin är en framgångsrik affärsman och chef över familjeföretaget Oppermanns möbler. Edgar är läkare och har nyligen uppfunnit en revolutionerande operationsmetod som är på väg att göra honom världskänd. Den enda systern, Klara, är gift med en polsk/amerikansk affärsman vars internationella affärer är av stor betydelse för landet. Men i Tyskland i början av 1930-talet blir brunskjortorna och hakkorsflaggorna en allt vanligare syn, och snart står syskonen Oppermann inför en fruktansvärd tragedi."En roman som talar rakt in i vår tid, en aktuell skildring av hur lögner och hat kan förvrida ett samhälle på bara några månader." – Sydsvenskan"Språk, stil och begrepp ger nycklar till förståelsen av hur nazismen kunde växa fram nu och då ... Oppermanns egen stil är mycket ledig och modern, närmast tv-serielik i sin kollektiva berättelse med den judiska släkten Oppermann i centrum och denna nyutgåva känns allt annat än förlegad."–ExpressenLion Feuchtwanger (1884-1958) var en tysk författare av judisk börd som studerade litteratur, filosofi och antropologi i München och Berlin. Han kritiserade ofta samtiden i sina romaner och som jude och vänsterorienterad blev Feuchtwanger vid nazisternas maktövertagande 1933 av med sitt tyska medborgarskap. Hans böcker förbjöds och han gick i landsflykt. Han levde under senare delen av sitt liv i USA.
