Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. In the weeks after the Germans captured Paris, theaters, opera houses, and nightclubs reopened to occupiers and French citizens alike, and they remained open for the duration of the war. Riding introduces a pageant of twentieth-century artists who lived and worked under the Nazis and… explores the decisions each made about whether to stay or flee, collaborate or resist. We see Maurice Chevalier and Edith Piaf singing before French and German audiences, Picasso painting and occasionally selling his work from his Left Bank apartment, and Marcel Carne and Henri-Georges Clouzot, among others, directing movies in Paris studios (more than two hundred were produced during this time). This focuses anew on whether artists and writers have a special duty to show moral leadership in moments of national trauma. We see that pro-Fascist writers such as Louis-Ferdinand Celine and Robert Brasillach flourished, but also that Camus's The Stranger was published and Sartre's play No Exit was first performed-ten days before the Normandy landings. / With B&W photos. /// This is a 1st edition paperback in near to fine condition-edges of the cover a little rubbed. (399 pages & 13 pages of introduction & 16 pages of photos).
