Menschen im Hotel

Menschen im Hotel

1929 • 319 pages

Over a stretch of a few days several characters' fates entangle in the luxurious Grand Hotel in Weimar time Berlin. Those who live in glamour and riches tangle with those scheming or dreaming of a future without worries. There's a drollness and melancholy in the characters, and their adventures are just perfect for being in a black and white movie starring Greta Garbo.

Rounded up, to support the rediscovery of female writers of the past. Thankfully Vicki Baum was already quite successful in her day.
