N2  - "A novel in which a book--a first edition of Joseph Roth's masterpiece Rebellion--narrates its own astonishing life story, from 1930s Germany to the present day as an American artist returns to Berlin, the book's birthplace, to decipher a mystery on its last page"--; One old copy of the novel Rebellion sits in Lena Knecht's tote bag, about to accompany her on a journey from New York to Berlin in search of a clue to the hand-drawn map on its last page. The voice of this novel-- a first edition nearly burned by Nazis in May 1933-- is our narrator. The story it tells centers on Joseph Roth, an Austrian Jewish author on the run, and his wife, Friederike, who falls victim to mental illness as Europe descends into war. Through past and present, it looks at censorship, oppression, and violence. -- adapted from jacket
