Twee broers Lautensack. De een is een kleine oplichter en heeft in de gevangenis gezeten. De ander heeft, zo vindt hij zelf, de gave van helderziendheid. De oplichter klimt op in de snel groeiende partij van de Nazi's en hij betrekt zijn broer daar ook bij. Hitler is al snel onder de indruk van de gave van de helderziende. Maar uiteindelijk moet alles wijken voor de partijbelangen. Zelfs als je "vriend" van Hitler bent.

Lion Feuchtwanger, novelist and dramatist, was born in Munich, Germany, the son of a wealthy manufacturer. The rise of the Nazis drove him to France, and after the collapse of that country he escaped to Spain with great difficulty. He reached the United States in 1940. A major work is his trilogy on the Jewish historian: Josephus (1932), The Jew show more of Rome (1935), and Josephus and the Emperor (1942). He was best known in Germany as a dramatist, but his international success was due to his revival of the historical novel written with modern psychological understanding.
