14.99 €
The book by Spanish historian Francisco U. Meinecke offers an immersion into the atmosphere of Berlin in the period between the world wars. The book "Café on the Volcano" is based on official documents, memoirs, and diaries of the bohemian society of Berlin in the 1930s. Through the story of the iconic "Romanesque Cafe", which becomes the center of the narrative, reveals the beginning of the largest catastrophe of the twentieth century - the emergence of Nazism. The impending fascism becomes a dark shadow against the background of flourishing culture, gradually taking over.
"Romanesque Café" in Berlin brought together the smartest people of the time. It was at its tables that visitors could meet Bertolt Brecht, Stefan Zweig, Marlene Dietrich, Albert Einstein, Billy Wilder. This book is a reminder of how dependent and tragic the close relationship between culture, art and politics can be.
