Add to basketOctavo, [21.25cm / 8.5inches], tela de color negro con estampado policromático completo con sobrecubierta protegida contra mylar, pp. 479. No dude en consultar detalles y / o fotografías adicionales. . Una Princesa en Berlín ganó el Premio Literario Athenaeum en 1980. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt de The New York Times escribió que "si el propósito de la ficción histórica es decirnos qué no son los hechos, las cifras y los libros de historia, entonces . Una Princesa en Berlín tiene un éxito admirable "; sin embargo, "el efecto de experimentar la cultura de Weimar a través del espejo del señor Solmssen es un poco como ver las caricaturas de George Grosz tal como las interpreta Norman Rockwell". Todd Walton, también para The Times, escribió que la promesa de "un capítulo inicial nítido y emocionante . se atasca por falta de acción . Tal vez si hubiera habido un poco menos de historia y un poco más de emoción". Kirkus Reviews fue más favorable, concediendo a Princess una crítica destacada y afirmando que "Solmssen hace virtuoso el uso del diálogo fragmentado . y de temblores políticos / económicos meticulosamente detallados, todo ello exponiendo espléndidamente a una sociedad in extremis. Impresionante ficción histórica". La revisión de Donna Bird of Green Man lo llamó una "lectura muy agradable". Ethan Mordden describió una escena en Princess como "impresionante" y "una ópera de tres peniques de la aristocracia". . Arthur R. G. Solmssen pasó su infancia en Berlín, y su adolescencia y juventud en los suburbios de Filadelfia. Estudió en la Universidad de Harvard, donde obtuvo su título de Bachelor of Arts en 1950, y la Universidad de Pensilvania, donde completó su licenciatura en derecho en 1953 y comenzó a trabajar como abogado en Filadelfia. . Octavo, [21.25cm/8.5inches], full polychrome-embossed raven-coloured cloth w/ mylar-protected dust jacket, pp. 479. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . A Princess in Berlin won the Athenaeum Literary Award in 1980. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt of The New York Times wrote that "if the purpose of historical fiction is to tell us what the facts, the figures and the history books do not, then . A Princess in Berlin succeeds admirably"; however, "the effect of experiencing Weimar culture through Mr. Solmssen's looking glass is a little like seeing George Grosz's caricatures as rendered by Norman Rockwell." Todd Walton, also for the Times, wrote that the promise of "a crisp, exciting opening chapter . bogs down for lack of action . Perhaps if there had been a little less history and a bit more depth of emotion". Kirkus Reviews was more favorable, giving Princess a starred review and stating that "Solmssen makes virtuoso use of fragmented dialogue . and of meticulously detailed political/economic tremors, all of it splendidly exposing a society in extremis. Impressive historical fiction". Donna Bird of Green Man Review called it a "very enjoyable read". Ethan Mordden described a scene in Princess as "stunning" and "a Threepenny Opera of the aristocracy". . Arthur R. G. Solmssen spent his early childhood in Berlin, and his adolescence and later youth in the suburbs of Philadelphia. He studied at Harvard University, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1950, and the University of Pennsylvania, where he completed his law degree in 1953 and commenced working as a lawyer in Philadelphia. . In exceptionally good condition.
