Who was this young man? A fascist hero whose memory is now an embarrassment or a committed idealist who happened to fall on the wrong side of history? In \u003ci\u003eLord of All the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, Cercas pieces together the life of his enigmatic relative and in so doing tells the story of an entire generation. Combining intimate family history, investigative scholarship, personal confession, and a novelist’s imagination, Cercas has crafted a transcendent portrait of a country’s indelible scars, a book about heroism, death, the persistence of the past, and the meaning of an individual life against the tapestry of history.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42914153791743,"sku":"9780525562504","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780525562504_s600x595.jpg?v=1775587387","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780525562504","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
