Gam

"The beautiful Gam wanders the whole world in search of love. The action of this story takes place in Egypt, Argentina, on luxury liners, in Paris and Venice, and also in Davos, in a convalescent home for those suffering from tuberculosis. Exploring ever now and again new shades of love, playing with passions, Gam in fact discovers herself, and becomes a woman. Remarque wrote this story, clearly fascinated with the exotic-- the landscapes of China, Sri Lanka and Malaysia, the customs of the peoples of the Orient play not a lesser role than the story itself."--Translated from p. [4] of cover.
