Beschreibung

McAuliffe portrays Paris in full flower at the turn of the 20th century, where creative dynamos set their respective circles on fire with their revolutionary visions and discoveries. But all was not well in this world, underscored by ominous drumbeat of the approaching Great War—a cataclysm that would brutally bring the Belle Epoque to its close.
