About the Book

The devastating account of one woman's infatuation - and subsequent disillusion - with Nazism, translated into English for the first time

Lucie has been brought up by bourgeois parents as a passionate young fascist. At the age of eighteen, she decides to volunteer in the Nazi labour camps in Germany. Intending to disprove what she sees as the lies that are being told about Nazi-Fascism, she instead encounters the horrors of life there - and is changed completely. Shedding her identity, she joins a group of deportees being sent to Dachau concentration camp. She escapes the camp in October 1944 and wanders a Germany devastated by allied bombardments.

Translated into English for the first time, Deviation is about the repression of memory, and one woman's attempt to make sense of the hell she has lived through.

Luce d'Eramo (1925-2001) was born to Italian parents in Reims, France. Eventually settling in Rome, she earned degrees in Literature and Philosophy and wrote many works of fiction and non-fiction, including the novels Nucleo Zero and Partiranno. Deviation was first published in Italy in 1979 and became an international bestseller.



About the Author :
Luce d'Eramo was born in 1925 in France. The daughter of Italian parents, she lived in France until her family returned to Italy in 1938. From a bourgeois Fascist family, she studied at the Sapienza in Rome and was a member of the Association of Fascist Students. When she was 18, she left home to volunteer in the Nazi labour camps, but then joined a group of deportees being sent to Dachau, from which she escaped in October 1944. She was left severely paralysed in 1945. In 1946 she married Pacifico d'Eramo and they moved to Rome, where she later gave birth to their son, Marco. d'Eramo went on to earn degrees in literature and philosophy and wrote many works of fiction and non-fiction, most famously Deviation, published in 1979. She died in Rome in 2001.

Review :
Raises vital questions about the paralysing effects of the belief systems people hold and how hard it can be to break free of them... could hardly be more relevant Strange and compelling At its heart is the narrator's rebellion against her bourgeois upbringing and her struggle to live an authentic life according to her own rules A powerful autobiography about a young woman's search for the truth and how she came to terms with it A disturbing, and yet brilliantly ambiguous exploration of humanity's darkest time Luce D'Eramo's extraordinary novel Deviation, a bestseller in Italy when published in 1979 but only now available in English... is, as its title may imply, a rejection of the idea that literary form can be neatly separated from psychic and political life The harshest, most in-depth account of the Nazi experience, the most uncompromising and courageous A remarkable and highly unusual contribution to the literature of the Nazi concentration camps... A searing moral journey towards conscience... written with verve and a deep lucidity
