Beschreibung

New paperback of the acclaimed, sharply immediate diary written from the heart of Occupied Paris by a classic German writer

Autor

Felix Hartlaub grew up in Mannheim, the son of an art historian and museum director who was ejected from his post by the Nazis in 1933 for his support of 'degenerate' art. Hartlaub studied history and was called up immediately upon graduating in 1939. Initially serving in a barrage balloon unit, he was sent to Paris in late 1940 to do archival research for the German foreign office, using his spare time to document the city in the notebooks that comprise Clouds Over Paris. He would continue writing diaries throughout the war up until he went missing in Berlin in May 1945. Simon Beattie is an antiquarian bookseller, literary translator, and choral composer. His previous translations include works by the banned gay writer Friedo Lampe, Gottfried Benn and Rainer Maria Rilke. Rüdiger Görner is Professor of German with Comparative Literature at Queen Mary, University of London and the Founding Director of the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations.
