Brandes' Decision

"A short but intense novel. Big, believe me."--Joan Josep Isern, Avui

"A little masterpiece."--Giancarlo Montalbini, Lettera

"A refined book. One of those books one should add to one's book collection, that one should re-read when looking for emotions in the silent world of writing."--Matteo Chiavarone, Ghigliottina

Brandes, a painter living in the Nazi-occupied Paris, will have to make a tough decision: Goering has taken away all his work and asked him to hand him over his Lucas Cranach painting, a family relic. If he does so, he will retrieve them, if he refuses to do it, he will never get them back.
