The Seventh Cross, by Anna Seghers, is a gripping tale that immerses readers into the harrowing realities of Nazi Germany. This newly translated, unabridged edition invites you to experience an extraordinary narrative that combines a thrilling manhunt with profound insights into the human condition during one of history's darkest times.
As seven prisoners escape from the Westhofen concentration camp, the relentless commandant constructs seven crosses on the grounds, marking the fate of the fugitives. While six are quickly caught, George Heisler emerges as the lone survivor, fiercely evading capture amidst a landscape riddled with peril.
Seghers' masterful storytelling not only depicts George's desperate flight but also delves into the psychological effects of fear and oppression. His relationships with his former lover, who turns him away, and his brother, now an SS officer, reveal the devastating transformation of social bonds under tyranny.

Hailed as one of the 20th century's most influential novels, The Seventh Cross played a pivotal role in shedding light on the grim truths of Nazi Germany. Its impact resonates through time, proving its enduring relevance as it has been translated into over 40 languages. Delve into this rich narrative and uncover the profound truths of courage amidst despair.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
