This 1957 German edition of Alfred Neumann’s “Die Goldquelle” (The Gold Source) offers a glimpse into the postwar literary landscape of divided Germany. Neumann, a prolific author from East Germany, penned this novel exploring the moral dilemmas and societal tensions of the era. While the book’s physical condition shows signs of age and use, the clean pages and secure binding allow readers to immerse themselves in Neumann’s narrative without distraction.

As a work from the German Democratic Republic, “Die Goldquelle” provides insights into the cultural and political climate of the time, reflecting the ideological divide between East and West Germany. Neumann’s writings often grappled with the complexities of life under communist rule, making this book a valuable artifact for scholars and collectors interested in Cold War-era German literature and its role in shaping national identity.
