O ovoj e-knjizi
The author of Kalvarianhof: The Perilous Journey continues his sweeping family saga with a novel of adventure and romance in Germany and war-torn Africa.
Family friends for generations, Catholic Markus and Jewish Levi—young men newly home from adventures in China—find themselves and their ladies living the last wonderfully romantic days of the Belle Epoch, the Beautiful Era, before the beginning of the first World War in 1914. The two men are soon swept up by the Great War, and find themselves far from the trenches of France, but no less safe in the wilds and on the battlefields as soldiers in Kaiser Wilhelm’s African colonies.
While Markus and Levi risk their lives in the face of betrayal and terror, a new normal exists back at Kalvarianhof, the grand Levi estate deep in the forests of Bavaria. The loved ones left behind struggle with hardships and dangers unforeseen, as the shadow of war threatens their friendships, their families, and their fate.

O autoru
Walter Soellner's parents immigrated to America from Germany in 1938. Many visits over the years to his family's ancestral home in Bavaria (called Kalvarianhof in the novel), and travels to Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe inspired the author's writing. Much family history and research into the first half of the 20th century provide historic detail against which the novel's men and women play out their passionate lives.
