«Lección de alemán» is the novel by Siegfried Lenz, published by Caralt in paperback (395 pages, in Spanish).
Siggi Jepsen, an inmate at a youth centre, writes an essay on «Las alegrías del deber» and recalls his childhood in Germany during the Second World War. His father, a policeman fanatical about duty, pursues an expressionist painter whom the Nazi regime has forbidden to paint. Lenz reflects on obedience, resistance and guilt.
The original title, Deutschstunde, alludes to the German class in which Siggi writes his essay; the novel first appeared in 1968.
Aimed at readers of contemporary European fiction interested in the moral dilemmas of obedience in Germany during the Second World War.
