The article presents information on the book "The Seventh Cross," by Anna Seghers. Anna Seghers is perhaps the most talented German novelist to appear in recent times. Her abiding theme is the Socialist revolution-more specifically, the Communist Party's efforts toward it in Germany and Central Europe in the twenty years between the two wars. "The Seventh Cross" has enough of her very original obliquity of perception to place it on a higher level than any other novel about Nazi Germany that has been translated into English.
