The best possible holiday read * Irish Times * A hugely enjoyable idiosyncratic month by month narrative, in which the frenzy of artistic activity in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and Trieste is conveyed with vigour and humour * Daily Telegraph * A vivid, richly textured book that chronicles a world crackling with talent, energy and foreboding * FT * A brilliant game of original quotations and tracings * Der Spiegel * Illies shapes his material not as a scholar, but as a wordsmith, as a story-teller with a strong sense for dramatic effect and composition.the most enjoyable book I've read in years * Die Welt * Illies makes the hundred years between 1913 and his readers disappear. ![]()
