Rezension zu „1913 “
"'A brilliant game of original quotations and tracings' (Der Spiegel) 'Illies shapes his material not as a scholar, but as a wordsmith, as a story-teller with a strong sense for dramatic effect and composition...the most enjoyable book I've read in years' (Die Welt) 'Illies makes the hundred years between 1913 and his readers disappear. A beautiful book.' (Suddeutsche Zeitung) 'I couldn't stop reading - Illies' stories are simply magnificent' (Ferdinand von Schirach)"
