His final novel, published posthumously, deals with the aftermath of the Holocaust - how the survivors, both victims and perpetrators, seek healing and redemption as they pick up the shattered pieces of their world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEvoking comparisons to the Russian greats\u003c\/b\u003e Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, Wiechert displays an uncommon depth of insight into the human condition at its most degenerate and it ennobling best - an understanding born of his own suffering and quest for rebirth. His novel is peopled with rich and complex characters and charged with both violent feelings and spiritual hunger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst published in 1950\u003c\/b\u003e as \u003ci\u003eMissa Sine Nomine\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eMass Without a Name\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eTidings\u003c\/i\u003e deserves its place among the masterpieces of European literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernst Wiechert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874866359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874866353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plough Publishing House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.27w x 1.18d","brand":"Ernst Wiechert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988315996415,"sku":"9780874866353","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61a45d56-e8cc-4c60-ab38-eec691facf57.jpg?v=1683293850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tidings-ernst-wiechert-9780874866353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
