Shadow Fight (s): Novel Rainer Bressler

This man who came to Switzerland from Germany in 1937. Switzerland became his exile. In Switzerland he marries a Swiss lady and history takes its course. In the interest of an intimate clarity beyond the biographical facts, the story is freely invented and fluidly told in relentless openness from a wide variety of perspectives and condenses into a humorous family and social novel that does not hide the fact, that the son's supposed hatred of his father maskes his longing for his father's love.
