Dragon's Teeth

The Pulitzer Prize–winning novel of an American in Germany fighting against the rise of Nazism, from the New York Times–bestselling author of World's End. In the wake of the 1929 stock market crash, Lanny Budd's financial acumen and his marriage into great wealth enable him to continue the lifestyle he has always enjoyed. But the devastation the collapse has wrought on ordinary citizens has only strengthened Lanny's socialist ideals—much to the chagrin of his heiress wife, Irma, a confirmed capitalist. In Germany to visit relatives, Lanny encounters a disturbing atmosphere of hatred and jingoism. His concern over the growing popularity of the Nazi Party escalates when he meets Adolf Hitler and the members of his inner circle. But Lanny's gravest fear is the threat a national socialist government poses to the German Jewish family of Hansi, the husband of Lanny's sister, Bess—a threat that will impel Lanny to risk his life in an attempt to rescue his loved ones from a terrible fate. Winner of the 1943 Pulitzer Prize, Dragon's Teeth captures the nightmarish march toward the Second World War in Upton Sinclair's New York Times–bestselling historical saga. Praise for the Lanny Budd Novels "Remarkably shrewd and often prescient." —The New York Times "Few works of fiction are more fun to read; fewer still make history half as clear, or as human." —Time "When people ask me what has happened in my long lifetime, I do not refer them to the newspaper files and to the authorities, but to [Sinclair's] novels." —George Bernard Shaw "[The] most faithful portrait of that period that has been done or will likely be done." —H. G. Wells
