| Professional Review: |
| A novel that probes moral devastation in the wake of the slaughter of an innocent family by the Nazis in retaliation for the association with a Dutch collaborator. |

 Written on September 26, 1998 Summary: A STORY THAT DIGS DEEP INTO THE HUMAN SOUL I read the original dutch version, the story of a young boy who is faced with the ultimate tragedy of war, losing all he loves and knows. This picture of an innocent 12 year old stays with you throughout the book, even as he grows to middle age. Knowing the rest of the story as he grows older is the unfolding of a good mystery. Written on September 8, 1998 Summary: You will never forget *The Assault* This is a wonderful and moving book. Without any sensationalism or sentimentality, Harry Mulisch's story sucks you in. When it finally spits you out again you will be changed. Written on June 26, 1998 Summary: Impressive! The novel is about one incident, but still spans 38 years. It starts when a police officer who collaborates with the German occupiers of Holland is being assaulted and shot. In revenge, the Germans burn the house in front of which he was found, but somebody had been dragging the body around... why? The main person, a boy from the house, loses his parents and brother in the killings that take place because of the assault. He grows up in another city, and becomes a doctor. His encounters with some persons (e.g. the son of the police officer) are being documented, and his philosophical musings over the subject. Only after 38 years he finds out what really happened... (I read the originial, Dutch version.) |
