Emmanuelle and Jakob who were released from Buchenwald and got married and moved to New York. They had a son Max who Emmanuelle doted on and thought that something was going to happen to him or the world. Jakob became successful first as a runner in the diamond business and then eventually taking it over himself. Max ended up marrying Julie, a superficial girl. Max was successful in his own right and Julie had her friends and never worked a day in her life and was very privileged growing up. They had 4 children (3 girls and a boy, who he was waiting for after 3 girls) which Julie never wanted but did it for Max. I knew where this is going all along and felt sorry for the 4 children that she upped and left after her son was born. I cried sad tears a lot and then finally happy tears! Una poderosa historia de valentía, ambición y amor, que nos transporta de la difícil época de la Segunda Guerra Mundial al lujo del Upper East Side de Manhattan en los años posteriores. Abril de 1945. Tras la liberación del campo de concentración de Buchenwald, entre los supervivientes están Jakob y Emmanuelle, una pareja de jóvenes. Lo han perdido todo en los horrores de la guerra, pero cuando se conocen encuentran la esperanza y el consuelo mutuos que necesitaban. Deciden casarse y empezar una vida nueva en Nueva York, donde construyen una vida próspera y una familia feliz. Sin embargo, el pasado siempre proyecta su sombra en el presente. Años más tarde, en pleno auge de los sesenta, su hijo Max, un ambicioso y espabilado hombre de negocios, está decidido a librarse de la tristeza que siempre ha pesado en su familia. Pero a medida que Max vaya madurando, aprenderá que las penurias que marcaron el pasado familiar son las que le ayudarán a forjar su futuro. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"When U.S. troops occupy Germany, friends Jakob and Emmanuelle are saved from the terrible fate of so many in the camps. With the help of sponsors, they make their way to New York. In order not to be separated, they allow their friendship to blossom into love and marriage, and start a new life on the Lower East Side, working at grueling, poorly paid jobs. Decades later, through talent, faith, fortune, and relentless hard work, Jakob has achieved success in the diamond business, invested in real estate in New York, and shown his son, Max, that America is truly the land of opportunity. Max is a rising star, a graduate of Harvard with friends among the wealthiest, most ambitious families in the world. And while his parents were thrown together by chance, Max chooses a perfect bride to start the perfect American family"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
