Alan Riding introduces a pageant of twentieth-century artists who lived and worked under the Nazis and explores the decisions each made about whether to stay or flee, collaborate or resist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe see Maurice Chevalier and Edith Piaf singing before French and German audiences; Picasso painting and occasionally selling his work from his Left Bank apartment; and Marcel Carné and Henri-Georges Clouzot, among others, directing movies in Paris studios (more than two hundred were produced during this time). We see that pro-Fascist writers such as Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Robert Brasillach flourished, but also that Camus's \u003ci\u003eThe Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e was published and Sartre's play \u003ci\u003eNo Exit\u003c\/i\u003e was first performed-ten days before the Normandy landings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on exhaustive research and extensive interviews, \u003ci\u003eAnd the Show Went On\u003c\/i\u003e sheds a clarifying light on a protean and problematic era in twentieth-century European cultural history.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098550550768,"sku":"2940170717101","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170717101_p0.jpg?v=1763815344","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170717101","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
