1. Summer Before The Dark
Stefan Zweig and Joseph Roth, Ostend 1936
Set against the backdrop of the summer of 1936, this narrative captures the last moments of peace before the storm of World War II. It chronicles the gathering of literary giants such as Stefan Zweig, Joseph Roth, and Irmgard Keun in the Belgian seaside town of Ostend. As they bask in the sun and engage in intellectual exchanges, the looming threat of the Nazi regime casts a shadow over their idyllic retreat. Through their interactions, the story delves into themes of exile, friendship, and the poignant realization of a world on the brink of irrevocable change.
