Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) beentsy | Aug 12, 2023 |  (Schnitzler, pag. 278) Ma alla fine della giornata a che ora andava a dormire Thomas Mann? (Illiers non lo scrive!) Il palcoscenico rappresenta l’umanità. A destra robusti giovanotti raccolgono fiori mentre una donna di trecento anni danza come impazzita. Sul margine sinistro del palco un vecchio scruta le stelle, mentre si conducono le vittime sacrificali che saranno immolate al dio della luce. (138) Dietro gli alberi incolpevoli lenta l’antica fatalità profila il suo volto muto. (Rilke, p. 183) (  ) NewLibrary78 | Jul 22, 2023 |  ) MissWatson | Dec 9, 2022 |  ) Wolfseule23 | Aug 6, 2022 | An interesting look at the world before everything changed. Some politicians, psychiatrists, artists, and writers are showcased in this book. Snippets of their lives make up the month to month chapters like what is happening between Freud and Jung, Duchamp, Kafka's attempt at a relationship, and Stalin and Hitler passing each other in the park. Chevy Chase should be credited with the monthly update that the Mona Lisa is still missing. It seems like a personal view of the year by those who experienced it, but so much is not documented. There is a small bibliography, but no citations in the text. How much is conjecture and how much is true is for the reader to decide. The book seems more historical fiction than non-fiction which I found annoying, but the writing style made it enjoyable. ( ) evil_cyclist | Mar 16, 2020 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:An International Bestseller ??An absolute gem of a book.? ??The Observer Just before one of its darkest moments came the twentieth century??s most exciting year . . . It was the year Henry Ford first put a conveyer belt in his car factory, and the year Louis Armstrong first picked up a trumpet. It was the year Charlie Chaplin signed his first movie contract, and Coco Chanel and Prada opened their first dress shops. It was the year Proust began his opus, Stravinsky wrote The Rite of Spring, and the first Armory Show in New York introduced the world to Picasso and the world of abstract art. It was the year the recreational drug now known as ecstasy was invented. It was 1913, the year before the world plunged into the catastrophic darkness of World War I. In a witty yet moving narrative that progresses month by month through the year, and is interspersed with numerous photos and documentary artifacts (such as Kafka??s love letters), Florian Illies ignores the conventions of the stodgy tome so common in ??one year? histories. Forefronting cultural matters as much as politics, he delivers a charming and riveting tale of a world full of hope and unlimited possibility, peopled with amazing characters and radical politics, bristling with new art and new technology . . . even as ominous storm cl Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
