Clouds over Paris: The Wartime Notebooks of Felix Hartlaub by Felix Hartlaub

Clouds over Paris: The Wartime Notebooks of Felix Hartlaub by Felix Hartlaub

The first English translation of Hartlaub's diaries, which have attained classic status in Germany, perfect for fans of Primo Levi and readers of Irene Nemirovsky's Suite Francaise.

'Hartlaub is regarded as one of German literature's great lost writers, a man who left just enough to tantalise posterity at what heights he may have scaled had he lived just another two weeks until the German surrender.. for the first time in English Simon Beattie's agile translation showcases wonderfully the insight and gift with which Hartlaub brimmed.' - New European

'The greatest literary talent of his generation' - Die Welt

FELIX HARTLAUB grew up in Mannheim, the son of an art historian and museum director who was ejected from his post by the Nazis in 1933 for his support of 'degenerate' art. Hartlaub studied history and was called up immediately upon graduating in 1939. Initially serving in a barrage balloon unit, he was sent to Paris in late 1940 to do archival research for the German foreign office, using his spare time to document the city in the notebooks that comprise Clouds Over Paris. He would continue writing diaries throughout the war up until he went missing in Berlin in May 1945.
