Down Below | Leonora Carrington
post image

From my large stack of #nyrb #tbr
Leonora falls in love with Max as they revel in the surrealist artist movement in WWII era Paris... until Max is sent to a concentration camp and Leonora, unable to pull strings to have him released, spirals into a “hysteria”, is declared insane, and committed to a sanitarium against her will. This is her account of that insanity as she recalled it years later.

#FromParisToBerlin

During WWII, Hitler ordered that looted art was to be collected in a central place in Paris (the Museum Jeu de Paume) before being sent on to Germany.

erzascarletbookgasm 👍 pick! 6y
Cinfhen I‘m always amazed at the sheer vastness of how methodical this man was. What he was able to get away with ~ it‘s incredibly telling and so sad. The power he possessed. Fabulous pick 6y
BarbaraBB Well played 👏👏 6y
Cathythoughts Perfect choice 👍🏻 6y
Kalalalatja Great pick! 6y

Ok, technically it‘s from England to Berlin, but the sentiment is the same imo. 😂 Unity Mitford was one of the iconic Mitford sisters, well known socialites that included authors Nancy and Jessica Mitford.

Unity became part of Hitler‘s inner circle during WWII and was a staunch and steadfast supporter of the Nazi party. She eventually put a bullet in her head and was never able to recover. She died at 33.

This has been on my TBR for awhile. Has anyone read this nonfiction account of a woman spy during WWII? She sounds like a social climber that will do just about anything to get ahead, including marrying a prince and spying for Hitler.
#fromparistoberlin #septemberdanes

Cinfhen No, but I‘m very intrigued 😍 6y
emilyhaldi 😯 6y
Reviewsbylola Sounds cool! 6y
Kalalalatja I can understand the marrying-a-Prince-part, but spying for Hitler seems a bit extreme 😮 6y
Lidia Her story sounds so interesting. I‘m intrigued! 6y
