Autor Alan Riding

An authoritative account of how Paris's artistic world lived through the Occupation, looking at both those who suffered Nazi oppression and those who prospered through collaboration.

Recenzii

'Fascinating... elaborate characters leap off almost ever page. A serious piece of scholarship, but one that reads like a novel' Observer 'Only someone as deeply versed in French culture as Alan Riding, and as completely in command of his subject, could have written this magisterial account of France's authors and artists and filmmakers and musicians during the Occupation. It is star-studded and makes fascinating reading.' David Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace 'Certainly one of the finest works of serious popular history' Washington Post 'A superbly fair- minded, well- researched, well- written and nuanced investigation into the greyest of all the moral grey areas of twentieth- century history' Andrew Roberts 'Objectively researched and soberly balanced - Riding makes it all too plain that for the cultured class, the Nazi Occupation was a sort of Hall of Mirrors, where the pulling of a few strings could turn a Romanian Jew - into an honorary Aryan' Spectator 'Penetrating and unsettling - a book that makes us question ourselves just as much as the French have had to' Good Book Guide 'Underpinned by meticulous research - built on the premise that intellectuals have special responsibilities, especially in difficult times, and [Alan Riding] skilfully engages with the complexities of the period - he neither falls into moral relativism nor indulges in accusatory finger-pointing' Times Literary Supplement 'Nazi-occupied Paris is brought to life in this meticulous chronicle of writers, dancers, filmmakers, theatrical producers and others' The New Yorker, Books of the Year 'Riding paints a riveting portrait' Vanity Fair 'Based on numerous interviews as well as published memoirs and diaries and the latest historical scholarship - Riding marshals details with the verve and care of a great reporter.' Professor Susan Suleiman, Harvard University '[a]full- blooded and meticulously researched history of French cultural life during the occupation' - Financial Times '... enthralling and disturbing... And the Show Went On describes this history in gripping and painful detail' - Geoffrey Wheatcroft The New York Times '... meticulously researched history of French culture during the Second World War... an impressively comprehensive survey of the occupation years...' - The Economist
