However, I had no idea what was going on in this book. Well, I gathered some of it, but mostly it was a book full of vague ideas and a long road trip. I have no interest in seeing the movie, unfortunately, either. ( ) En el verano de 1960, en la desolada región de la Patagonia, un médico alemán conoce a una familia argentina y se une a ellos para seguir la ruta del desierto en caravana. El viajero es Josef Mengele, uno de los mayores criminales de la historia. La familia hace renacer en él todas sus obsesiones por la pureza y la perfección. En especial Lilith, una adolescente con un cuerpo demasiado pequeño para su edad. La fascinación es mutua: en pleno despertar sexual, Lilith siente una inquietante atracción por el forastero. Sin conocer la verdadera identidad del alemán, al llegar a Bariloche, Enzo y Eva lo aceptan como primer huésped de su hostería, a orillas del lago Nahuel Huapi. Aunque el extraño personaje despierta en los anfitriones cierto recelo, poco a poco se verán seducidos por sus modales, su distinción, su saber científico y su dinero. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Now a major motion picture, this is a story of obsession, loyalty, and control as one man with dark intentions charms his way into the lives of an innocent, unsuspecting family, based on the true exile of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele to South America Patagonia, 1960. Jos#65533; is on the run. Having fled from his homeland of Germany, he has come to South America to continue his work as a doctor seeking to manipulate genes to create the "perfect" human race. In the small village of Chacharramendi he meets Lilith, a child he first notices from the balcony of his motel who instantly fascinates yet repulses him. Lilith has a growth defect, and the disproportionate size of her features represents all that Jos#65533; is trying to exterminate from humankind. Yet, even more intriguing is the fact that her siblings are perfect examples of the Aryan race: tall, strongly built, and fair. The anomaly of Lilith's existence enthralls Jos#65533;, and when he discovers Lilith's mother is pregnant, the temptation to involve himself in their lives and even interfere with the pregnancy is too much for him to pass up. A cold, calculating, but eerily charming man, Jos#65533; befriends Lilith and manipulates his way into the family. And so begins a dark relationship between the doctor and the little girl, a kind of love that cannot end well. For Jos#65533; is actually Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, infamous for performing human experiments at Auschwitz, and sooner or later his past is going to catch up with him.
