About the Book

A Financial Times 'Book to Read in 2023'

1930s Europe - as the Roaring Twenties wind down and the world rumbles towards war, the great minds of the time have other concerns.

Jean-Paul Sartre waits anxiously in a Parisian cafe for his first date with no-show Simone de Beauvoir. Marlene Dietrich slips from her loveless marriage into the dive bars of Berlin. Father and son Thomas and Klaus Mann clash over each other's homosexuality. And Vladimir Nabokov lovingly places a fresh-caught butterfly at the end of Vera's bed. Little do they all know, the book burning will soon begin.

Love in a Time of Hate skilfully interweaves some of the greatest love stories of the 1930s with the darkening backdrop of fascism in Europe, in an irresistible journey into the past that brings history and its actors to vivid life.

About the Author :
Florian Illies was born in 1971 and studied art history in Bonn and Oxford. He later worked in publishing at Rowohlt, headed up the Grisebach auction house, and was culture editor at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung and Die Zeit. His international hit 1913: The Year Before the Storm topped the German bestseller list for months. He lives in Berlin.

Simon Pare is a translator from French and German who lives near Zurich. His translation of Christoph Ransmayr's The Flying Mountain made the Man Booker International 2018 longlist, and he was runner-up for the 2021 Schlegel-Tieck Prize. In 2016, he was part of the team that translated The Panama Papers into English.
