商品簡介
A lively, authoritative group portrait of some of the 20th century’s most revered creative minds as they lived, loved, fought, and flourished in Paris during and after World War II
In this fascinating tour of a celebrated city during one of its most trying, significant, and ultimately triumphant chapters, Agnes Poirier takes her readers through the lives of the poets, writers, artists, and politicians who converged in Paris between 1940 and 1950. She gives us the human stories behind some of the most celebrated works of the 20th century, from Richard Wright’s Native Son to Albert Camus’s The Stranger, along with the origin stories of now legendary movements, from Surrealism and Existentialism to the Theatre of the Absurd.
We follow James Joyce and Saul Bellow as young men, peek inside Picasso’s studio, and trail the many twists in Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir’s epic, ever evolving love story. We watch the births and deaths of newspapers and literary journals, and peer through keyholes to see the first kisses and last nights of many ill-gotten bedfellows. At every turn, Poirier deftly hones in on the colorful information we want most, without undermining the crucial significance of the era.
Poirier shows us the flawed and ultimately lovable Parisians who fell in love, bickered, separated, and reunited all while changing the political and intellectual landscape—and history—of one of the world’s greatest cities. A balance of clear-eyed historical perspective and irresistible anecdotal charm, Left Bank delivers a Paris readers will long to inhabit it in all its delicious drama and life.
