Description: "A boy dreaming of Huckleberry Finn, a pastor, a seaman, a disillusioned Communist, a young Jewish girl running for her life - these five meet in a Baltic fishing village and are drawn into a daring plan of escape from Nazi Germany. Unusual in both its form and content, this novel is a masterpiece of condensed dramatic writing. Alfred Andersch investigates the many needs for flight and the strange loyalties which sometimes make escape impossible."--BOOK JACKET.
