Beschreibung
'Strikingly original, utterly absorbing' Julia Boyd, author of Travellers in the Third Reich
A Financial Times 'Book to Read in 2023'
1930s Europe - as the Roaring Twenties wind down and the world rumbles towards war, the great minds of the time have other concerns.
Jean-Paul Sartre waits anxiously in a Parisian café for his first date with no-show Simone de Beauvoir. Marlene Dietrich slips from her loveless marriage into the dive bars of Berlin. Father and son Thomas and Klaus Mann clash over each other's homosexuality. And Vladimir Nabokov lovingly places a fresh-caught butterfly at the end of Verá's bed. Little do they all know, the book burning will soon begin.
Love in a Time of Hate skilfully interweaves some of the greatest love stories of the 1930s with the darkening backdrop of fascism in Europe, in an irresistible journey into the past that brings history and its actors to vivid life.
Rezensionen
This is candid, unsparing and gripping social history viewed through the prism of two- and three-person relationships - simultaneously disenchanting and endearing. A bravura performance
s intelligentsia against the backdrop of the rise of fascism ... Illies, a German writer, brings a light touch and conversational style to his mosaic view of a pivotal period ... he astutely weaves these diverse stories into a fluent, widescreen narrative
In a revealing, offbeat slice of cultural history, Florian Illies traces the tangled affairs of Europe'

<i>Love in a Time of Hate</i> invites us to consider that history is as much an accretion of small gestures as it is a catalogue of battles and speeches. At once intimate and epic, this dazzling book illuminates the human desire to seek connection and coherence as the world descends into chaos. A brilliant and imaginative tour de force
Please do read this book - it is gorgeous. I learned so many new things about love, art and the horror of history
s superb new book explores the complicated personal and creative lives of<br>everyone from Marlene Dietrich and the Mann family to Salvador Dalí, and F Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald</p>
<p>A brilliantly readable and evocative social history ... beginning with the build up to the Great Depression and ending with the outbreak of war, Florian Illies'

A brilliantly conceived and uniquely different cultural history of the 1930s, written with confident, alluring poise. Fascinating and revelatory
It takes a skilful hand to arrange these vignettes into a dramatic image of the world slipping into catastrophe ... This erudite history covers much ground
</b>Illies is as astute a researcher as he is an observer of the zeitgeist
<b>Praise for Florian Illies: '

Set against the relentless rise of Nazi terror, this ingenious narrative evokes the 1930s through the loves, foibles and tragedies of the cultural elite. Strikingly original, utterly absorbing.
Highly novelistic ... wisecracking ... skilfully composed
s often arch prose style,
<i>Love in a Time of Hate</i> achieves something that is really rather impressive - turning the great moral dramas of the 20th century into breathless melodrama.
Partly as a result of the book's organising conceit, and Illies'

An enthralling and insightful cultural history - one that shows how, over the course of one pivotal decade, love, freedom and the freedom to love gave way to fear, madness and despair
Engaging ... Illies immerses us in a stream of gossip and political rumour, in love affairs past and present, somehow carried on amid great personal achievements and terrible folly. There is a Freudian element and no little writerly brilliance in the way Illies asks: what did these people <i>mean </i>by love? ... This, then, was Europe in love
A cultural history of some of the 1930s greatest love stories, interwoven with the darkening backdrop of fascism in Europe
The experimental sex lives of the artists and thinkers of the roaring 20s are set against the burgeoning threat of fascism in this wickedly amusing and timely book
An absolute gem of a book
Thorough and fascinating
A vivid, richly textured book that chronicles a world crackling with talent, energy and foreboding
s the thrill of discovery on every page
Florian Illies's whirling cultural history, <i>Love in a Time of Hate</i>, captures an era of unmatched hedonism ... there'
