Drawing on more than a hundred unpublished photographs, including unseen images of some of the most famous and infamous Berlin clubs of the 1920s, the book depicts the Weimar Republic through the people who partied and the places they partied in, from living rooms and bedrooms to the underground and the tourist-filled clubs and music halls of Berlin. Facing debt, disease, unemployment and crime, many lived with a frantic desire to live in the moment; an exploration of decadence, sexuality and indulgence went hand in hand with innocence of the consequences of fascism or communism. A feast during a time of plague, and a testimony to a celebratory spirit.
