Paris on the Brink : The 1930s Paris of Jean Renoir, Salvador Dali, Simone de Beauvoir, Andre Gide, Sylvia Beach, Leon Blum, and Their Friends
McAuliffe, Mary
Paris on the Brink vividly portrays the City of Light during the
tumultuous 1930s, from the Wall Street Crash of 1929 to war and German
Occupation. This was a dangerous and turbulent decade, during which
workers flexed their economic muscle and their opponents struck back
with increasing violence. As the divide between haves and have-nots
widened, so did the political split between left and right, with
animosities exploding into brutal clashes, intensified by the
paramilitary leagues of the extreme right.
Hitler, Stalin, and
Mussolini escalated the increasingly hazardous international
environment, while the civil war in Spain added to the instability of
the times. Yet throughout the decade, Paris remained at the center of
cultural creativity. Major figures on the Paris scene, such as Gertrude
Stein, Ernest Hemingway, Andre Gide, Marie Curie, Pablo Picasso, Igor
Stravinsky, and Coco Chanel, continued to hold sway, in addition to
Josephine Baker, Sylvia Beach, James Joyce, Man Ray, and Le Corbusier.
Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre could now be seen at their
favorite cafes, while Jean Renoir, Salvador Dali, and Elsa Schiaparelli
came to prominence, along with France’s first Socialist prime minister,
Leon Blum. Despite the decade’s creativity and glamour, it remained a
difficult and dangerous time, and Parisians responded with growing
nativism and anti-Semitism, while relying on their Maginot Line to
protect them from external harm. Through rich illustrations and
evocative narrative, Mary McAuliffe brings this extraordinary era to
life.
