A unique testament to the persistence of ordinary life through the disaster of modern war 
perfect for fans of books like Suite Française Sharply immediate  evocative diaries from the
heart of Occupied Paris in World War II by a classic German writer  in English for the first
time The writer Felix Hartlaub died in obscurity at just 31  vanishing from Berlin in 1945. He
left behind a small oeuvre of private writings from the Second World War: fragments and
observations of life from the midst of catastrophe that  with their evocative power and
precision  would make a permanent place for him in German letters. Posted to Paris in 1940 to
conduct archival research  Hartlaub recorded his impressions of the unfamiliar city in
notebooks that document with unparalleled immediacy the daily realities of occupation. With a
painter's eye for detail  Hartlaub writes of the bustle of civilians and soldiers in cafés  of
half-seen trysts during blackout hours and the sublime light of Paris in spring.
