The Kindness of Strangers

Salka Viertel

Explore the fascinating journey of a creative and well-connected woman through the tumultuous period of the twentieth century, from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Hollywood. This autobiography is a rich and intimate panorama of dissolving civilizations, with memorable encounters with influential figures such as Kafka, Rilke, and Einstein. Painful years of war and migration are described with vividness, leading to a new chapter in Hollywood where Salka's house becomes a meeting point for artists, musicians, and writers. A must-read for anyone interested in the cultural and artistic aristocracies of the past century.

@nikcij @baddestmamajama I’m going out on a limb here but if you like the ex pat perspective on America and are also moderately interested in show business THE COMPANY OF STRANGERS also published by @nyrbclassics is a book i would recommend highly      источник
