In his virtuoso manner, Florian Illyes brings to life the 1930s, a decade of burgeoning political and cultural tensions. Jean-Paul Sartre eats cheesecake with Simone de Beauvoir at Berlin's Kranzler-Eck restaurant, Henry Miller and Anais Nin relive stormy nights in Paris and "Quiet Days in Clichy," F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway immerse themselves in passionate romances in New York, Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel flee into exile as Katja and Thomas Mann. In 1933, the Golden Twenties come to an abrupt end. It is at this time that the National Socialists seize power in Germany, books are burned, and violence against Jews begins. Florian Illies takes us back to an era of exceptional political catastrophe to tell the story of the greatest lovers in cultural history. An exciting and beautifully plotted journey into the past that reads like a commentary on our uncertain present.
