About the Book

Set in Germany during the final months of World War II, The Savior is an unusual and illuminating story of Gottfried Keller, a young German violinist ordered to play for the inmates of a concentration camp by an SS officer conducting an experiment in resurrecting hope in Jewish prisoners. Out of fear and insecurity, Keller cooperates and even finds himself compelled by the temptation of manipulating others with his musical talent. As he continues to play for the inmates, guards, and officers of the camp, Keller's horror toward the perpetrators and their abhorrent crime begins to fade, revealing his own culpability. Drucker draws on his own musical expertise in The Savior. As he explores the character of Keller, Drucker interweaves riveting musical description and profound commentary on the composers and works throughout the narrative, including Ysaye, Hindemith, and most notably Bach's searing 'Chaconne' and 'St. Matthew Passion,' to remarkable effect.

Review :
"A moving, honest exploration of conscience; Eugene Drucker's description of music illuminates the text in a way that a nonmusical writer would have been incapable of. The test of a good novel is whether it stays with you afterward, and The Savior is a book you will not forget."

-- Kate Atkinson, author of "One Good Turn" and "Case Histories"

"Eugene Drucker brings a musician's understanding of tempo, tone and interpretation to this book. He's an artist in two fields; maybe more."

-- Paul Newman

"One of our finest musicians has now distinguished himself in this graceful work of fiction. Eugene Drucker has created a poignant tale of heartbreaking paradoxes and one man's efforts to solve them through art in the darkest of times."

-- Leon Botstein, president of Bard College and author of "The History of Listening"

"With The Savior, Eugene Drucker has written an elegant, smart and knowing novel that delves into darkness and explores its many shades."

-- Meg Wolitzer, author of "The Position" and "Surrender, Dorothy"
