Mary McAuliffes Dawn of the Belle Epoque took the reader from the multiple disasters of 18701871 through the extraordinary reemergence of Paris as the cultural center of the Western world Now in Twilight of the Belle Epoque McAuliffe portrays Paris in full flower at the turn of the twentieth century where creative dynamos such as Picasso Matisse Stravinsky Debussy Ravel Proust Marie Curie Gertrude Stein Jean Cocteau and Isadora Duncan set their respective circles on fire with a barrage of revolutionary visions and discoveries Such dramatic breakthroughs were not limited to the arts or sciences as innovators and entrepreneurs such as Louis Renault André Citroën Paul Poiret François Coty and so many othersincluding those magnificent men and women in their flying machinesemphatically demonstrated But all was not well in this world remembered in hindsight as a golden age and wrenching struggles between Church and state as well as between haves and havenots shadowed these years underscored by the evermoreominous drumbeat of the approaching Great Wara cataclysm that would test the mettle of the City of Light even as it brutally brought the Belle Epoque to its close Through rich illustrations and evocative narrative McAuliffe brings this remarkable era from 1900 through World War I to vibrant life
