1925 The Memory Years, French Book by Editions Larousse, 1988

About the Item

1925, Les Années-Mémoire (1925, The Memory Years), French book by Editions Larousse, 1988. Relive the year 1925 as if you were there. This volume will make you relive, with emotion, the facts and events of the interwar period. That year, in France, we heard everywhere humming, "When We Are Two, It's Not The Same Thing" by Maurice Chevalier. Street music and music hall contribute to a good mood. And yet, the economic situation is hardly smiling, and the French government knows many setbacks: in April, Edouard Herriot yields his place as president of the Council to Paul Painlevé, and in October, Aristide Briand, in his turn, replaces it. Inflation in Germany is still rife, and the mark value is almost zero. 1925 is also rich in artistic and sporting events. American crews completed the first circumnavigation of the globe by plane in 175 days. French actor Michel Simon made his first appearance in Marcel L'Herbier's film "Feu Mathias Pascal." Classical music is not to be outdone, Maurice Ravel composes Tzigane, and Honegger triumphs with his King David. A new phenomenon, sport fascinates more and more French people and attracts many followers. Our tennis players excel at Wimbledon while the All Blacks come to give us a rugby lesson. In Monaco, we happily celebrate Louis II's election and the baptism of his son Rainier. Considerable research work was done on archive images, documents never seen and finally found, and faithfully reproduced period images to make you relive this year 1925. This is a beautiful coffee table art book. Features: Title: 1925, Les Années-Mémoire. Author: Collectif Editions Larousse. Hardcover book. Language: French. 300 black and white and full-color photographs and illustrations. 176 pages. Dimensions: 9.25 in x 11.63 in (23.5 x 29.5 cm). Published in 1988 by Editions Larousse.
