«Et la fête continue» is the historical essay by Alan Riding, published by Plon in paperback (437 pages, in French).
It reconstructs Parisian cultural life under the German occupation: theatres, cinemas and cabarets reopened after 1940, and artists and intellectuals kept creating amid fear and restrictions. With portraits of Sartre, Beauvoir, Picasso, Chevalier or Piaf, Riding examines whether performing or publishing for a partly German audience amounted to collaboration and what creative freedom remained.
Subtitled «La vie culturelle à Paris sous l'Occupation», this book originally appeared in English as «And The Show Went On; Cultural Life in Nazi-Occupied Paris» (2010).
Recommended for those interested in French cultural history, the Nazi occupation of Paris and the ethical dilemmas of artists during the Second World War.
