«El amante de Shangai» is the literary fiction novel by Michèle Kahn, published by Grijalbo in hardback (509 pages, in Spanish).
Shanghai, 1938: Walter Neumann arrives as a refugee from Nazi Europe. The city is then a visa-free destination, and the protagonist plays the piano and serves at the Wiener Café. There he meets Feng-si, a Chinese woman of equivocal life, and falls in love. The novel composes a choral story of love, desperation and faith in the struggle to survive.
Translation by Belén Gala; the original title of the work is «Shanghaï-la-juive». The Spanish edition was published in 2007.
A read for those seeking historical novels about the Second World War, Jewish exile and life in the city of Shanghai.
