In the 1930s, thousands of Jews fleeing Nazi-dominated Europe found refuge in Bolivia. Their story has been largely overlooked until now. Leo Spitzer--whose Viennese Jewish family arrived in La Paz in 1939--is a historian whose beautifully written book is a personal testament to the diverse cultures that shaped him and a haunting consideration of the way we make meaning out of the cultural baggage we carry wherever we go. 60 illustrations.

Very Good. Size: 8x5x0; Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Spine sunned. Clean, unmarked pages. "Leo Spitzer, born in Vienna in 1887, began his academic career in his native city. He had a rather distinguished career at the Universities of Vienna, Bonn, Marburg, and Cologne. In 1933, he emigrated from Nazi Germany and took up a post at the University of Istanbul, and from 1936 to 1956 was a professor at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. It is there that he became a member of the Romance Language faculty and stayed for the rest of his career. His principal works dealt with the literary stylistics of Romance languages, particularly French and Spanish; he also did research in various areas of Romance linguistics. Professor Spitzer died in Forte dei Marmi, Italy in 1960."
