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. Because that year, in France, we hear 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. In Germany, inflation is still rife, and the value of the mark is close to zero. 1925 is also rich in artistic and sporting events.
American crews complete the first circumnavigation of the globe by plane in 175 days. In the theatre, French actor Michel Simon made his debut 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 joyfully celebrate the election of Louis II and the baptism of his son, Rainier.
Considerable research work on archive images, documents never seen and finally found, faithfully reproduced period images to make you relive this year 1925.
This is a beautiful coffee table art book.
