Anna Seghers
The Seventh Cross () is a novel by Anna Seghers, one of the better-known examples of German literature circa World War II. It was published first in the United States, in an abridged version, in September 1942 by Little, Brown and Company. Its publication was surrounded by a certain amount of fanfare; by the end of September, there were already plans for a comic strip version of "The Seventh Cross", it having already been selected as a Book-of-the-Month Club book.
