€110.00
Original pictorial wrappers. Scarce and fascinating work of th e Berlin of the early years of the Third Reich by one of the most famous French novelists and journalists. Pierre Mac Orlan exposes his thoughts on each one of the 66 photogravures compiled in this book. This scarce work is a part of a collection intitled "Tour du Monde" which only got 2 titles (London and Berlin). The publisher of this book seems to have retrieved or destroyed the majority of its copies, due to the too openly anti-Nazi critics stated by Mac Orlan, which would explain its scarcity.
This rare first edition work, published in Grenoble as part of the 'Tour du Monde' collection, documents Berlin during the early years of the Third Reich. The book features 66 photogravures illustrating the city's atmosphere and street life under Nazi rule. It includes a personal introduction by Pierre Mac Orlan, who was a well-known French novelist and journalist. The publication is noted for its historical significance as a visual record of pre-WW2 Germany, capturing both the carnival-like street scenes and the growing political tension of the era.
