Edited by Irving Drutman, the volume chronicles the vibrant, turbulent life of Paris between the wars, capturing the city's bohemian artistic circles, its political anxieties, and the glittering personalities who shaped an era. With razor-sharp wit and an unflinching eye, Flanner presents intimate portraits of figures such as Isadora Duncan, Sylvia Beach, and Adolf Hitler's rising shadow over Europe, weaving together the personal and the historic with effortless grace. The prose is at once elegant and urgent, immersing the reader in a world on the brink — a golden age unravelling in real time. This essential anthology stands as both a definitive record of interwar Paris and a masterclass in literary journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888029413595,"sku":"2026200007042-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/320ecc1e-8826-42d3-8581-2deca9112df0.png?v=1781753279","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007042-secondhand-paris-was-yesterday-1925-1939","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
