Description: When Paris Sizzled vividly portrays the City of Light during the fabulous 1920s les Ann es folles when Parisians emerged from the horrors of war to find that a new world greeted them one that reverberated with the hard metallic clang of the assembly line the roar of automobiles and the beat of jazz. Mary Mc Auliffe traces a decade that saw seismic change on almost every front from art and architecture to music literature fashion entertainment transportation and most notably behavior. The epicenter of all this creativity as well as of the era's good times was Montparnasse where impoverished artists and writers found colleagues and caf's and tourists discovered the Paris of their dreams. Major figures on the Paris scene such as Gertrude Stein Jean Cocteau Picasso Stravinsky Diaghilev and Proust continued to hold sway while others now came to prominence including Ernest Hemingway Coco Chanel Cole Porter and Josephine Baker as well as Andr Citro n Le Corbusier Man Ray Sylvia Beach James Joyce and the irrepressible Kiki of Montparnasse. Paris of the 1920s unquestionably sizzled. Yet rather than being a decade of unmitigated bliss les Ann es folles also saw an undercurrent of despair as well as the rise of ruthless organizations of the extreme right aimed at annihilating whatever threatened tradition and order a struggle that would escalate in the years ahead. Through rich illustrations and evocative narrative Mary Mc Auliffe brings this vibrant era to life.
