«Grand Hotel» is the classic novel by Vicki Baum, published by Amereon Ltd in hardback (288 pages, in English).
A grand Berlin hotel in the 1920s serves as the setting for several intersecting lives: a ruined baron, a dancer afraid of growing old, a sick employee who wants to live at last, and a young typist. The novel describes their aspirations and secrets in a choral portrait of the society of the time.
The novel was originally published in 1929 under the title «Menschen im Hotel»; this English edition appeared in 1980.
For readers of twentieth-century classics and literary fiction, with an interest in interwar Berlin and choral stories.
Hedwig "Vicki" Baum was an Austrian writer. She is known for the novel Menschen im Hotel, one of her first international successes. It was made into a 1932 film and a 1989 Broadway musical.
