It's the summer of 1936, and the writer Stefan Zweig is in crisis. His German publisher no longer wants him, his marriage is collapsing, and his home in Austria has been seized. He's been dreaming of Ostend, the Belgian beach town--a paradise of promenades, parasols, and old friends. So he journeys there with his new lover, Lotte Altmann, and reunites with his semi-estranged fellow writer and close friend Joseph Roth, himself newly in love. For a moment, they create a fragile paradise. But as Europe begins to crumble around them, the writers find themselves trapped on vacation, in exile, watching the world burn. In Ostend, Volker Weidermann lyrically recounts "the summer before the dark, " when a coterie of artists, intellectuals, drunks, revolutionaries, and madmen found themselves in limbo while Europe teetered on the edge of fascism and total war"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Zweig, Stefan,|d1881-1942|xFriends and associates. 600 10 Roth, Joseph,|d1894-1939|xFriends and associates. 600 10 Keun, Irmgard,|d1905-1982|xFriends and associates. 600 17 Keun, Irmgard,|d1905-1982.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01717990 600 17 Roth, Joseph,|d1894-1939.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00049252 600 17 Zweig, Stefan,|d1881-1942.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00046408 650 0 Authors, German|xHomes and haunts|zBelgium|zOstend. 650 0 Authors, Austrian|xHomes and haunts|zBelgium|zOstend. 650 0 Authors, Exiled|zBelgium|zOstend. 650 0 Nineteen thirty-six, A.D. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xHistorical.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xLiterary.|2bisacsh 650 7 Authors, Austrian|xHomes and haunts.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00821817 650 7 Authors, Exiled.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00821997 650 7 Authors, German|xHomes and haunts.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00822060 650 7 Friendship.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 Manners and customs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 Nineteen thirty-six, A.D.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01037832 651 0 Ostend (Belgium)|xSocial life and customs. 651 7 Belgium|zOstend.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01206356 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 700 1 Janeway, Carol Brown,|etranslator. 994 02|bWHP
