By the author who inspired Wes Anderson’s film, The Grand Budapest Hotel Written as both a recollection of the past and a warning for future generations, The World of Yesterday recalls the golden age of literary Vienna—its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall.

His passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the edge of extinction.
