ABOUT THIS: Between 1918 and 1933, Germany experienced fifteen years of political and intellectual turbulence which came to an abrupt end with the emergence of Nazi dictatorship. The period has entered history as the Weimar Republic. The arts blossomed and bore a rich harvest of books and magazines, operas and plays, paintings and buildings which have won a place in international culture. But above all the output of the thriving entertainments industry lent that age its aura of nostalgic mystique, expressed in our notion of the "Golden" Twenties. Of course, this image will not stand close scrutiny. For one thing, it does not apply to the entire period, as it was only between 1924 and 1929 that Germany was relatively free of crisis, and for another, it belies the reality of life in the Weimar state. And yet we have decided to call our book The "Golden" Twenties, retaining the epithet in quotation marks. Our purpose in doing so is to question the mys-tique and show what was really happening on the cultural scene: the outstanding artistic accomplishments along-side the mass production of trash and reactionary jingo-ism; the striking aesthetic experiments side by side with routine perfectionism; the influence of the Soviet avant-garde and at the same time the full-scale imitation of the mass entertainment industry of the capitalist United States of America. The culture of the Weimar Republic was the phenomenon of extremes rubbing shoulders, where Alfred Dablin and Hedwig Courths-Mahler, Kurt Weill and Franz Lehar, Kuhle Wampe and the Leuthen Chorale made their impact simultaneously., Books<

However, in this handsome and provocative book, two East German authors explore the fiction, architecture, films, opera, street entertainment and pop music of this era and show that the cultural life of the Weimar Republic was in fact just as polarized and troubled as was its politics.", Books<
