Big city, big bands: New York's jazz scene of the 1920s It's the Roaring Twenties, and New York is aflame with jazz fever. Crowds flock to the nightclubs and dance halls in Harlem to see the likes of Louis Armstrong with the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra playing at the Kentucky Club, or Duke Ellington at the Roseland Ballroom or the world-famous Cotton Club. Designed, illustrated, and edited by Robert Nippoldt, this award-winning book pays homage to this exceptional era, via an entertaining blend of illustrations, facts, and amusing anecdotes presenting 24 leading lights of New York's jazz scene in the 1920s. The texts, contributed by Hans-Jurgen Schaal, give a vivid account of the club scene and the "band battles," as well as the legendary recording sessions. A splendid read, a groovy soundtrack-and not strictly for jazz fans only!

Schein und Sein: Berlin in den 1920ern Das Berlin der Goldenen 1920er ist eine Erfolgsstory, die das 20. Jahrhundert seinen Kindern und jetzt auch Kindeskindern immer wieder gerne erzahlt: so viel Rasanz, Theatralik, Drama, Lichter der Gro?stadt, Verkehrschaos, Leben, das laut auf sich aufmerksam macht, will es nicht in Hinterhofen und Mietskasernen verkummern, Cabaret, Theater, Funk, Film, Reklame, Bubikopf und Monokel, queere Kieze, Charleston und der „Onkel Bumba aus Kalumba“; alles rennt, rast und schwoft, jeden Tag breaking news, Sensationen und Spektakel. An dieser Geschichte, deren Strahlkraft heller leuchtet als funf Millionen Osram-Birnen (Werk Berlin-Friedrichshain), haben viele mitgestrickt: Kunstschaffende, City Girls, Gigolos, Bohemiens, Intellektuelle, Koksbarone, Ringvereine und Politgangster, Wissenschaftler, Sportskanonen und Spekulanten, Dr. Mabuse, Mackie Messer, Maria, der schone Maschinenmensch und eine endlose Parade von tanzwutigen Nachtschwarmern. Nach den Bestsellern Hollywood in the 30s und Jazz: New York in the Roaring Twenties hat sich Illustrator Robert Nippoldt diesmal mit dem Schriftsteller Boris Pofalla zusammengetan, um den Geist dieses Jahrzehnts in einem atmospharisch dichten Album einzufangen. Nippoldt stellt nicht nur bekannte Figuren wie Lotte Reiniger, Christopher Isherwood, Albert Einstein, Kurt Weill, Marlene Dietrich und George Grosz vor, sondern auch Thea Alba, „die Frau mit zehn Gehirnen“, Magnus Hirschfeld, den „Einstein des Sex“, und den beruhmt-beruchtigten Ganoven Adolf Leib. Bevor Weltwirtschaftskrise und Naziherrschaft Berlin das Licht ausknipsen, zeigt uns Nippoldt noch einmal alles: die grellen Lichter der Gro?stadt und das Grau der Fabriken, Hinterhofe und Mietskasernen, das Geschrei der Sporthallen und die Stille der Theatersale, den Gesang der Comedian Harmonists und Marlene Dietrich, die sich zylinderbehutet eine Zigarette anzundet und dann – kluge Frau – ein Dampferticket nach Hollywood kauft.

The 1920s appeal to our imagination. The Roaring Twenties' bring to the mind partying, cigarotte-smoking women with short hair and short skirts, dressed in stunning gowns covered with feathers and pearls. However, this decade offered more than just a decadent party life. Jazz Age: Fashion in the Roaring 20s contributes to a more balanced interpretation of fashion during the 1920s, with a focus on both men and women. Based on original research, it reviews not only the history of 1920s fashion, but also highlights its significance for subsequent developments in fashion.

In early 2006, Chuck Ramkissoon is found dead at the bottom of a New York canal. In London, a Dutch banker named Hans van den Broek hears the news, and remembers his unlikely friendship with Chuck and the off-kilter New York in which it flourished: the New York of 9/11, the powercut and the Iraq war. Those years were difficult for Hans - his English wife Rachel left with their son after the attack, as if that event revealed the cracks and silences in their marriage, and he spent two strange years in New York's Chelsea Hotel, passing stranger evenings with the eccentric residents. Lost in a country he'd regarded as his new home, Hans sought comfort in a most alien place - the thriving but almost invisible world of New York cricket, in which immigrants from Asia and the West Indies play a beautiful, mystifying game on the city's most marginal parks. It was during these games that Hans befriends Chuck Ramkissoon, who dreamed of establishing the city's first proper cricket field. Over the course of a summer, Hans grew to share Chuck's dream and Chuck's sense of American possibility - until he began to glimpse the darker meaning of his new friend's activities and ambitions. 'Netherland' is a novel of belonging and not belonging, and the uneasy state in between. It is a novel of a marriage foundering and recuperating, and of the shallows and depths of male friendship. With it, Joseph O'Neill has taken the anxieties and uncertainties of our new century and fashioned a work of extraordinary beauty and brilliance.

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald’s finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick’s cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him. The Great Gatsby is an undisputed classic of American literature from the period following the First World War and is one of the great novels of the twentieth century.
