Notes
This book was translated by Jefferson Chase. It was first published in New York, in translation, by Metropolitan Books in 2018. The book describes Europe in 1918, left in ruins by the war. With the end of hostilities, a new and radical start seemed not only possible, but essential, even unavoidable. Unorthodox ideas lit up the age - new politics, new societies, new art and culture, new thinking. The author describes a vivid panorama of a world suspended between enthusiasm and disappointment, and of a moment in which the wind of opportunity was suddenly open, only to slam shut once again.
