Marcel Proust knocks on the doors of publishing houses and appeases critics with pastries, Hermann Hesse runs away from his marriage on skis, and the Berlin adventurer Otto Witte unexpectedly finds himself on the Albanian throne.
1913 returns. After six years of searching, Florian Illies once again collects hundreds of amazing stories about writers, artists, scientists, aristocrats, swindlers and lovers. From artistic scandals and stormy novels to discoveries, inventions and events that changed the world - they all add up to a fascinating portrait of the last peaceful year in Europe. Hundreds more voices, scenes and coincidences. The stories are so incredible that they can only be true.
Please note: The book presents images and references to Russian cultural and political figures in a context typical of European ideas about the beginning of the 20th century. Some of these interpretations may not correspond to the modern understanding of historical processes and may be sensitive for the Ukrainian reader. The publishing house does not share views that contradict the Ukrainian historical experience and the modern context.
