At the upcoming Leipzig Book Fair Eli Beneš will present his novel A Slight Loss of Loneliness (Nepatrná ztráta osamelosti) to a German audience. The award-winning debut has been published in German translation by Karl Rauch Verlag, Düsseldorf, this year.

The author guides readers through post-war Europe as they follow a young Auschwitz survivor on his odyssey from his home town of Prague to Palestine. This accurately researched novel, which is based on true events, is also a touching love story.
