His days are filled with drink, his nights with brief love affairs and the torments of his nightmares. What keeps him sane is his mission to collect the menorahs, kiddush cups, and holy books that have survived their vanished owners. And the hope that one day he will find the Nazi officer who murdered his parents—and have the strength to kill him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA haunting exploration of one survivor's complex, wrenching, inner world, \u003ci\u003eThe Iron Tracks\u003c\/i\u003e is distinguished by the depth of insight and the distinctively stark, elegant style that have won Aharon Appelfeld recognition as one of the world's great writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAHARON APPELFELD\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than forty works of fiction and nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eThe Iron Tracks, Until the Dawn's Light \u003c\/i\u003e(both winners of the National Jewish Book Award), \u003ci\u003eThe Story of a Life\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Prix Médicis Étranger), and \u003ci\u003eBadenheim 1939\u003c\/i\u003e.
