Gill, Anton
A Dance Between Flames: Berlin Between the Wars <p> London John Murray 1993. Buckram. 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. First edition hardcover with jacket both rated fine. Text is bright, crisp and clean. A history of the arts between the first and second world wars in Berlin. From the Jacket: "Anton Gill brillantly recaptures the Berlin of the Twenties and Thirties, where the world's most exotic talents flourished against a background of decadence, corruption, hyperinflation and finally fear. For a few, the Twenties really were golden. Max Reinhardt, Bertolt Brecht, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Josephine Baker electrified the state. Harry Kessler rubbed shoulders with Einstein, Kurt Tucholsky with Arthur Koestler: Kurt Weill and Lotte Lenya with Klemperer and Karajan: Grosz, Kandinsky and Kokoschka with the founders of the Bauhaus: Max Schmeling with Anita Berber, Berlin was the Hollywood before Hollywood, where Fritz Lang, Josef Von Sternberg, Ernst Lubitsch and Billy Wilder all started their careers."
