Uwe Westphal Fashion Metropolis Berlin The Story of the Rise and Destruction of the Jewish Fashion Industry THE AUTHOR Uwe Westphal lives in Berlin and London. He has already published several books, including one on advertising during the Nazi era, the history of the Bauhaus movement and most recently the novel "Ehrenfried & Cohn." The well-established author studied art history in Berlin and worked at the International PEN Center in London, later in New York as a journalist and producer for PBS and CBS. Something unique emerged in the heart of Berlin in the 19th century: a creative centre for fashion and ready-made clothing. The hundreds of clothing companies that were established here manufactured modern clothing and developed new designs that were sold throughout Germany and the world. This industry reached the height of its success in the Golden Twenties. Freed from their corsets, sophisticated women of the time dressed in the 'Berlin chic' sold by Valentin Manheimer, Herrmann Gerson, or the Wertheim department stores. After 1933, however, most Jewish clothing industrialists were confronted with hatred and violence. Many of their companies were 'aryanized' while they themselves were robbed, displaced, and murdered. Under new Nazi management, these companies created conservative clothing that represented an entirely different image of women. With its gripping depiction of events and trove of historical images, this book brings to life Berlin's fashionable past while also serving as a clear and painful reminder of the great injustice that was committed. • illustrations throughout, including unpublished photos that revive the past epochs • society and fashion in Berlin – focusing on the Golden Twenties and the Nazi era • based on decades of research and interviews by the author with contemporary witnesses in Germany, Great Britain, the USA and Israel TRIMMED PAGE SIZE 170 mm x 230 mm (appr. 6.7 x 9 inches) PAGES 272 TEXT (of the English edition) 75,000 words 480,000 characters incl. spaces ILLUSTRATIONS 103 b/w and color illustrations BINDING Hardcover PUBLICATION DATE 2019, English copy available RIGHTS worldwide Please contact Sina Scholz sina.scholz@seemann-henschel.de © E.

Dorothee Gelhard That’s Ballet! 50 questions – 50 answers Ballet is magic What is ballet? What fascinates us about it? 50 questions and answers about one of the most beautiful art forms in the world prove the magic and poetry of dance in clever texts and impressively touching illustrations. Many know and love ballet - but who can say why ballerinas actually dance on pointe and wear a white tutu? What individual gestures and foot positions mean? And whether swans really die in ballet? How does ballet become danced poetry, what do choreographers do, why are Vaclav Nijinsky and a faun so important? This unique book conveys the history and present of ballet in the form of concisely posed questions and entertainingly narrated answers. It shares the greatest triumphs and the greatest scandals in ballet, immerses us in its exciting history. And it shows that ballet has arrived in the modern age: it has become political, dances messages, and examines itself in terms of its significance for the culture of the 21st century. After the award-winning title "This is the Bauhaus!" ("Most Beautiful German Books" / Stiftung Buchkunst), the graphic design team of Bureau Est, together with illustrator Camille Deschiens, presents this breathtakingly beautifully illustrated, witty and creative volume that will delight everyone: ballet fans as well as readers who love beautifully designed, "different" books on cultural history. • a wonderful book about a wonderful art • unique, insightful and entertaining • designed by the award-winning graphic design studio Bureau Est THE AUTHOR DOROTHEE GELHARD is teaching comparative literature at the University of Regensburg, where she has introduced a focus on dance studies.
