Klappentext zu „1913, English edition “
1913 is an intimate cultural portrait of a world that is about to change forever. The stuffy conventions of the nineteenth century are receding into the past, and 1913 heralds a new age of unlimited possibility. Kafka falls in love; Louis Armstrong learns to play the trumpet; a young seamstress called Coco Chanel opens her first boutique; Charlie Chaplin signs his first movie contract; and new drugs like cocaine usher in an age of decadence. Told with Illies's characteristic mixture of poignant evocation and laconic irony, 1913 is the story of the year that shaped the last century.

Rezension zu „1913, English edition “
"'A brilliant game of original quotations and tracings' - Der Spiegel 'Illies shapes his material not as a scholar, but as a wordsmith, as a storyteller 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. A beautiful book.' - Suddeutsche Zeitung"
