[EAN: 9780307268976], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Alfred A. Knopf], Alan Riding, former European cultural correspondent and Paris bureau chief for the New York Times, introduces a panoply of writers, painters, composers, actors and dancers who kept working throughout the occupation of Paris beginning on June 14, 1940. Maurice Chevalier and Edith Piaf sang before French and German audiences; Pablo Picasso, whose art was officially banned, continued to painting in his Left Bank apartment. More than two hundred new French films were made, including Marcel Carne's classic Les Enfants du paradis. Thousands of books were published by authors as different as the virulent anti-Semite Celine and the anti-Nazis Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. Meanwhile, as Jewish performers and creators were being forced to flee or, as was Iren Nemirovsky, deported to death camps, a small number of artists and intellectuals joined the resistance. Throughout this penetratging and unsettling accout, Alan Riding keeps alive the quandaries facing many of these artists. Were they 'saving' French culture by working? Wehre they betraying Freance if they performed before German soldiers or made movies with Nazi approval? Bibliography & Notes, Index. 400p., Books<

Hardcover. 397 pp. with bibliography, index. Illustrated with photographs. After German tanks rolled into Paris on June 14, 1940, the City had the Nazi flag flying above it but was otherwise undamaged (unlike London and other German targets). Movie theaters, opera houses, stage theaters, and nightclubs reopened and over the next four years, the artictic life of Paris flourished with a much verve as in peacetime. The author here introduces us to entertainers such as Maurice Chevalier and Edith Piaf, artists like Pablo Picasso, writers such as Celine, Camus, and Sartre. Were these men and women "saving" French culture by working under Nazi oversight? Were they betraying France by performing before German soldiers or making movies with Nazi approval? And after the liberation, what was deserving punishment for artits who had committed what some termed "intelligence with the enemy"?, Books<
