What are some books on the bell epoch other than Zweig's autobiography?
>>25354419>By the author who inspired Wes Anderson
>>25354514Did he do anything else of note?
>>25354419Just a little pointer from a history buff little bro: the term "Belle Époque" refers to a period of artistic flourishing from 1871 to 1914 that took place in France.I haven't read The World of Yesterday (although I plan to) but AFAIK Zweig was writing about the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which experienced a similar artistic flourishing around the same time. Generally historians refer to this period as Vienna 1900 since it was entirely localized to the capital.Just wanted to point that out to avoid confusion.
>>25354550I've mainly heard it used for the whole of Europe during that period. I think Zweig might as well, I'd have to go back and read. He devotes much time to Austria(-Hungary or otherwise) but he travelled a lot and kept many international friendships, the back half of the book is more about WW1, art culture, and wider Europeans happenings from what I remember.
>12 o'clock, bell epoch!
