Rese�a del editor:

Goodbye Stalin - a True Story of Wars, Escapes and Reinventions is a real life Gone With the Winds. Sigrid von Bremen Thomas and her family escaped communism, usually under gunfire, not once but four times. They went from feudal glory under the Tsars through the Soviet revolution to democracy in Estonia, Nazism in Poland during World War II, then communism in East Germany, and finally freedom in West Germany and the United States. All this was packed between the years 1917 and the early 1950s. As the author says in her Forward, the von Bremen's wild ride compressed 250 years of Western European social and political history into just a third of a century. The narrative unfolds as a personal coming of age story, ending with the 24 year old von Bremen Thomas aboard a U.S. Army refugee transport steaming into New York harbor. But wrapped inside are flashbacks to her parent's and grandmother's earlier and equally tumultuous lives. Readers of Goodbye Stalin thus witness all of the greatest events of modern Europe up close and personal through Sigrid and her parents' own eyes. This is grand history on a unique and utterly intimate scale.

Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
