«Wo warst du, Robert?» is the young-adult time-travel novel by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, published by Carl Hanser in hardback (276 pages, in German).
Robert, a German teenager, is transported to the past when he stares at an image: history takes him from 1956 Novosibirsk to a Germany in crisis and to the Thirty Years' War, traversing Europe and Australia. Each leap distances him further from the present and blurs his identity in an adventure about history and time.
Published in 1998 and subtitled «Roman» on the cover, it belongs to German children's and young-adult literature.
For young people aged 14 and up interested in European history and adventures across different eras.
