Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. ![]() ![]() This book showed how progress and hope will lead to a worlds opportunities for every person despite backgrounds in play. Doris showed the world that the government may rule the world, but she rules her own life and controls her own destiny. Love finds its way, and internal growth is the most important growth that can be done. Overall, this story inspires and engages the audience to reflect on their own morals. Daniela: Irmgard Keun, compagna del grande Joseph Roth, pubblica a 27 anni questo piccolo romanzo, scritto in forma di diario, che racconta un anno di vita di una bella ragazza di provincia, che vuole diventare una stella. Sullo sfondo della Berlino del 1931 (disoccupazione, conflitti sociali, antisemitismo), Doris cerca di realizzare i suoi desideri contando solo sulla sua bellezza, la sua disinibita capacità di manipolare e sedurre, e una pelliccia rubata che nasconde la sua povertà. Disillusa eppure sognatrice, cinica ma ingenua, candidamente amorale e opportunista, Doris è un personaggio complesso e affascinante, che intenerisce. Un bel libro, ancora molto attuale.

Before Sex and the City there was Bridget Jones. And before Bridget Jones was The Artificial Silk Girl. In 1931, a young woman writer living in Germany was inspired by Anita Loos's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to describe pre-war Berlin and the age of cinematic glamour through the eyes of a woman. The resulting novel, The Artificial Silk Girl, became an acclaimed bestseller and a masterwork of German literature, in the tradition of Christopher Isherwood's Berlin Stories and Bertolt Brecht's Three Penny Opera. Like Isherwood and Brecht, Keun revealed the dark underside of Berlin's "golden twenties" with empathy and honesty. Unfortunately, a Nazi censorship board banned Keun's work in 1933 and destroyed all existing copies of The Artificial Silk Girl. Only one English translation was published, in Great Britain, before the book disappeared in the chaos of the ensuing war. Today, more than seven decades later, the story of this quintessential "material girl" remains as relevant as ever, as an accessible new translation brings this lost classic to light once more. Other Press is pleased to announce the republication of The Artificial Silk Girl, elegantly translated by noted Germanist Kathie von Ankum, and with a new introduction by Harvard professor Maria Tatar.
