In a defeated nation seething with extremism right and left, young Georg is looking for something to believe in. For him, the past has become unusable; for nearly everyone he meets, paradise seems just around the corner. But which paradise? Kracauer’s grimly funny novel takes on a confused and dangerous time which may remind us of our own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artbook - D.A.P.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041988526320,"sku":"9781624621406","price":12.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781624621406_p0.jpg?v=1763863295","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781624621406","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
