These writings, consisting of fragments and observations of life during the catastrophe, have gained recognition in German letters for their evocative power and precision. Posted to Paris in 1940 to conduct archival research, Hartlaub recorded his impressions of the unfamiliar city in notebooks that provide an unparalleled glimpse into the daily realities of occupation. With a painter's eye for detail, Hartlaub vividly describes the bustle of civilians and soldiers in cafés, the half-seen trysts during blackout hours, and the sublime light of Paris in spring. Clouds Over Paris, which is being published in English for the first time, stands as a unique testament to the persistence of ordinary life even in the face of disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 292g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 145 x 222 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781782278443\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Felix Hartlaub","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44101663883514,"sku":"9781782278443","price":10.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662159613754_book.jpg?v=1662313665","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/clouds-over-paris-the-wartime-notebooks-of-felix-hartlaub-9781782278443","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
