A analysis on the decade of the 1930s in the form of a newspaper, with sections treating simultaneous happenings in politics (the Stavisky affair), entertainment (music halls), literature (Celine and Malraux), travel (colonialism),fashion (photography),spectacles (expositions, cinema), and so on. Key films open each section and provide an iconography and themes. This book argues for a new historiography of periods.
