From the quintessential author of wartime Germany, A Time to Love and a Time to Die echoes the harrowing insights of his masterpiece All Quiet on the Western Front. After two years at the Russian front, Ernst Graeber finally receives three weeks’ leave. But since leaves have been canceled before, he decides not to write his parents, fearing he would just raise their hopes. Then, when Graeber arrives home, he finds his house bombed to ruin and his parents nowhere in sight. Nobody knows if they are dead or alive. As his leave draws to a close, Graeber reaches out to Elisabeth, a childhood friend. Like him, she is imprisoned in a world she did not create. But in a time of war, love seems a world away. And sometimes, temporary comfort can lead to something unexpected and redeeming.

Engineer MacAllan wins powerful backers from high finance for his bold plan to create an underwater land connection between Europe and America. The construction of the tunnel begins, leading to the emergence of new cities. Speculators enter the scene, and funds from around the world are mobilized as workers from various nations dig through the earth. However, disasters strike the colossal project, and the tunnel company faces ruin. Despite these challenges, MacAllan manages to overcome all obstacles to complete his work, but the price he pays is his own happiness. Bernhard Kellermann, born in 1879 in Fürth and educated at the Technical University in Munich, achieved great success with his early lyrical novels. His futuristic novel "Der Tunnel" became a true international success, translated into twenty-five languages and adapted into a film in the United States since its first publication in 1913.
