In his bestseller "Love in Times of Hate", Florian Illies describes the great love stories of the decade 1929 to 1939, the time of great political, social and human catastrophes.


From Marlene Dietrich, Kurt Tucholsky, Erich Kästner, Picasso, Walter Benjamin and Jean Paul Sartre to Simone de Beauvoir, Josephine Baker and Lotte Lenya - there were real love affairs, both disillusioning and touching, which were certainly also due to the signs of the times.

Illies brings his meticulous research together in an entertaining, even amusing text and creates a moral picture of that time in the truest sense of the word.

The violin playing of Liv Migdal, a storyteller on her instrument, provides the perfect setting. With her musical passion and poetic imagination, she creates the perfect atmosphere for this special reading.
