During the Korean War, young Jewish Marcus Messner from Newark enrolls in a small rural, conservative college in Ohio.

The novel was originally published as «Indignation» in 2008; this German edition includes the translation by Werner Schmitz.
For readers of Philip Roth and contemporary American fiction; combines coming-of-age novel, historical fiction, and critique of conservatism.
Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of Jewish and American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against America.
