{"product_id":"9781906964733","title":"To Greet the Sun","description":"ONE LIFE. TWO HEROIC ACTS, HALF A CENTURY APART. Otto Eisinger, an elderly German émigré living alone in Brazil, attempts to thwart a pair of armed robbers and is savagely beaten. While he is convalescing in hospital, the media get hold of the CCTV footage and the old man unknowingly becomes a national hero. Otto is visited in the ward by his housekeeper's grandson, Pietro, a young journalist eager to understand the source of his extraordinary bravery. In a morphine-induced haze, and prompted by the uncanny resemblance between Pietro and Siggi, his closest friend in the Hitler Youth, Otto begins to relive memories that he has spent a lifetime suppressing -- and whose meaning he has still not fully understood. To Greet the Sun offers a compelling, psychologically nuanced portrait of a man born in Germany in 1929 -- a man whose childhood was spent in the suffocating embrace of the Nazi regime, and who, aged fifteen, was willing to risk his life to defend the Führer. It is a story of kindness and courage as well as of guilt, and of an unlikely friendship that bridges continents and generations.","brand":"Old Street Publishing, Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175762051312,"sku":"9781906964733","price":12.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781906964733_p0.jpg?v=1763617780","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781906964733","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
