CAB Comment––With “The Boys From Brazil” Ira Levin has taken high-concept into “The Twilight Zone”, which is why I love this novel, as well as the 1978 film starring Gregory Peck, Laurence Olivier, and James Mason. Simply a great idea and a great story, you can’t go wrong with this disturbing tale about the Nazis we all still looooove to hate. Although quite different, “The Boys From Brazil” was a strong influence on my own high-concept Nazis-in-South-America novella “A Catch In Time” (also available here in The Vintage Bookshop @ Texas POĒtrope).
“The Boys From Brazil”––Amazon Synopsis:
“The classic thriller of Dr. Josef Mengele's nightmarish plot to restore the Third Reich.
Alive and hiding in South America, the fiendish Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele gathers a group of former colleagues for a horrifying project―the creation of the Fourth Reich. Barry Kohler, a young investigative journalist, gets wind of the project and informs famed Nazi hunter Ezra Lieberman, but before he can relay the evidence, Kohler is killed. Thus Ira Levin opens one of the strangest and most masterful novels of his career. Why has Mengele marked a number of harmless aging men for murder? What is the hidden link that binds them? What interest can they possibly hold for their killers: six former SS men dispatched from South America by the most wanted Nazi still alive, the notorious “Angel of Death“? One man alone must answer these questions and stop the killings―Lieberman, himself aging and thought by some to be losing his grip on reality. At the heart of The Boys from Brazil lies a frightening contemporary nightmare, chilling and all too possible.”

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home. In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.
Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear. Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others. Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you.
