520 The first book about Albatross Press, a Penguin precursor
that entered into an uneasy relationship with the Nazi
regime to keep Anglo-American literature alive under
fascism. The Albatross Press was, from its beginnings in
1932, a "strange bird": a cultural outsider to the Third
Reich but an economic insider. It was funded by British-
Jewish interests. Its director was rumored to work for
British intelligence. A precursor to Penguin, it
distributed both middlebrow fiction and works by edgier
modernist authors such as D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf,
James Joyce, and Ernest Hemingway to eager continental
readers. Yet Albatross printed and sold its paperbacks in
English from the heart of Hitler's Reich. In her original
and skillfully researched history, Michele K. Troy reveals
how the Nazi regime tolerated Albatross-for both economic
and propaganda gains-and how Albatross exploited its
insider position to keep Anglo-American books alive under
fascism. In so doing, Troy exposes the contradictions in
Nazi censorship while offering an engaging detective story,
a history, a nuanced analysis of men and motives, and a
cautionary tale.
