Krátky popis
A witty yet moving narrative worked up from sketched biographical
fragments, 1913 is an intimate vision of a world that is about to
change forever. The stuffy conventions of the nineteenth century
are receding into the past, and 1913 heralds a new age of unlimited
possibility. Kafka falls in love, Louis Armstrong learns to play
the trumpet, a young seamstress called Coco Chanel opens her first
boutique, Charlie Chaplin signs his first movie contract, and new
drugs like cocaine usher in an age of decadence.Yet everywhere
there is the premonition of ruin - the number 13 is omnipresent,
and in London, Paris and Vienna, artists take the omen and act as
if there were no tomorrow. In a Munich hotel lobby, Rilke and Freud
discuss beauty and transience, Proust sets out in search of lost
time, and while Stravinsky celebrates the Rite of Spring with
industrial cacophony, an Austrian postcard painter by the name of
Adolf Hitler sells his conventional cityscapes.
