Utopia: Falk Nefts Heimkehr von Isaac Breuer 1923
In Breuer’s second novel, Falk Neft’s Homecoming (1923), a young man, Falk Neft, returns home from serving in World War I disillusioned with life and Judaism as he knows it. His father, Adolf, wants him to enter the family business, but Falk cannot bear to live a smug bourgeois existence after witnessing the horrors of war.
Isaac Breuer (Hebrew: יצחק ברויאר; 1883–1946) was a rabbi in the German Neo-Orthodoxy movement of his maternal grandfather Samson Raphael Hirsch, and was the first president of Poalei Agudat Yisrael.
