Product Details

An ingeniously orchestrated popular history brings to life the most pivotal decade of the twentieth century

As the Roaring Twenties wind down, Jean-Paul Sartre waits in a Paris café for a first date with Simone de Beauvoir, who never shows. Marlene Dietrich slips away from a loveless marriage to cruise the dive bars of Berlin. The fledgling writer Vladimir Nabokov places a freshly netted butterfly at the end of his wife’s bed. Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Zelda and Scott, Dali and Gala, Picasso and his many muses, Henry and June and Anaïs Nin, the entire extended family of Thomas Mann, and a host of other fascinating and famous figures make art and love, write and fight, bed and wed and betray. They do not yet know that they, along with millions of others, will soon be forced to contemplate flight – or fight – as the world careens from one global conflict to the next.

 

Florian Illies is a writer, editor, and art historian who is the author of five international bestsellers, including 1913: The Year Before the Storm. He lives in Berlin.

Author Residence: Berlin, Germany
