Adventurous
stories are favorite to almost everyone of us. But, not each one of
these stories give us a glimpse of old days along with a thrilling
reading experience. However, Angelica Urbas considers that
‘The One Man’ by Andrew Gross falls under the above stated
category. This books give valuable information on the miserable
condition of Polish during the Nazi time. On other hand , this book
also describes the adventurous experience of Alfred Mendl. If you
still not read this book, know from Urbas, why you should not miss
it.
The
story starts in 1944 when one of its main characters Alfred Mendl and
his family was brought to the concentration camp. Just after arriving
the Camp, Alfred, who was a professor of Physics, was separated from
his family and all his works were burnt into fire. Although the Nazi
guards considered him as just another prisoner, actually he was one
of those two people having knowledge to start or terminate a war.
When Mendl was brought to concentration camp, the other one was
already working for Nazis. Angelica Urbas states that the
author has brought a nice twist in the story by introducing Nathum
Blum, who in Washington DC, was assigned to a mission by the US
government. The mission was about entering the Concentration camp and
escaping with a person who can help Allies to win the war. Clearly,
it was probably the most dangerous mission for Blum. But, still he
was agreed to do it. As the story proceeds, as per, it becomes more
and more thrilling.
On
reading the story, you will realize the author used both real facts
and lots of twists in the storyline in excellent way. The description
of concentration camp and how people used to live there is so lively
that sometimes it might seem terrifying to the reader and thus,
Angelica Urbas considered it as the best creation of Gross
till now, read more.
