The Fermented Savior, the latest novella by Peter Prizel tells a unique and compelling story set against the backdrop of World War II in Nazi-occupied France. Combining magical realism with historical fiction, this novella follows the courageous efforts of a young girl and a conflicted German soldier as they use enchanted grapes to fight against the persecution of Jews.
Marie Martin, the daughter of vineyard workers on the famous Baron Rothschild estate, discovers a hidden power in the soil that was once home to Marie Curie’s laboratory, leaving it both radioactive and magical. As the Baron flees to Great Britain due to his Jewish heritage, Marie’s family is left behind to manage the estate, now under German occupation. It is here that Marie uncovers the vineyards’ secrets: the “white” grapes are pro-Nazi, while the “purple” grapes are tied to the Jewish community.
The story takes a magical turn when Marie learns that the purple grapes, if fermented into wine, have the power to convince anyone who drinks it that the Jewish population should not be persecuted. Marie teams up with Günter Adler, a German soldier whose father once worked with the Baron in viticulture. Drafted into the Wehrmacht, Günter is torn between his loyalty to the military and his desire to aid the Resistance and the Jewish people.
Together, Marie and Günter work to harvest the enchanted grapes, all while evading Nazi authorities. Their secret mission becomes even more perilous as Göring’s Luftwaffe demands wine from the estate, putting them at risk of being exposed. With their lives on the line, the pair must stay one step ahead of the Nazis while continuing their underground efforts to protect France’s Jewish populace.
The Fermented Savior is an enthralling blend of history, fantasy, and moral complexity, exploring themes of bravery, resistance, and the power of unity in the face of tyranny. The novella offers a fresh, imaginative take on World War II resistance literature, weaving together the magical properties of the vineyard with the harsh realities of life under Nazi rule.
This press release highlights the rich narrative of The Fermented Savior, balancing its magical elements with historical weight.
