Publisher: Hats Off Books
Price: $26.95
Review: Honest, abrasive and engaging… okay… enough with the Ney-Yorker-esque blurbs, even though they are true. Honestly, this is the most disturbing account of the holocaust I have ever read. If I didn’t know any better, I would think Mathias B. Freese had gone through this experience himself.
Told in first-person, we are led through the tunnels of human despair and survival. Base human emotion, action and reaction are uncensored and laid bare, making The i Tetralogy more than just another novel about the holocaust. This book is an exploration of what a civilized human being is capable of when s/he is pushed and the resulting guilt (or lack of) we feel for our convictions. Not only in action, but in thought, this book reflects the horror we all have inside of us and reminds us of the fragility and importance of our lives.
Even if you’ve read Elie Wiesel’s Night, Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago, or others, this book will surprise you with raw language and emotive power.
Rating: 4.75 / 5
