Il libro è il racconto in prima persona di un americano trasferitosi con la famiglia in Germania dopo la prima guerra mondiale, che vi resta anche dopo la presa del potere di Hitler e diventa la voce della propaganda nazista di Goebbels per gli Stati Uniti. All'inizio e alla fine del libro il protagonista si trova in una prigione israeliana, in attesa di processo per crimini di guerra, lì ripensa alla propria vita e decide di scrivere le sue memorie. Il racconto, presentato come un autentico documento storico, risulta un'attuala riflessione sulla guerra, la violenza e le loro cause. Dal libro, pubblicato nel 1961, è stato tratto anche un film interpretato da Nick Nolte nel 1996.

Work Description

Mother Night is a daring challenge to our moral sense. American Howard W. Campbell, Jr., a spy during World War II, is now on trial in Israel as a Nazi war criminal. But is he really guilty? In this brilliant book rife with true gallows humor, Vonnegut turns black and white into a chilling shade of gray with a verdict that will haunt us all.
