{"product_id":"9780307742117","title":"Sydney and Violet","description":"By: Stephen Klaidman     \u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis long overdue biography of the power couple who nurtured and influenced the literary world of early twentieth-century England offers an intimate look at their dazzling circle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSydney and Violet Schiff were ubiquitous, Zelig-like figures in the most important literary movement of the twentieth century. Sydney was an admired writer and Violet was a talented musician who was among the first in England to recognize Proust’s genius; their friendships among the elite of the Modernist writers were remarkable and extensive. Stephen Klaidman tells the story of how the Schiffs, despite their commercial and Jewish origins, won a central place in the snobbish, anti-Semitic, literary world of the time. A colorful, highly personal account of the Modernist movement, \u003ci\u003eSydney and Violet\u003c\/i\u003e brings to life a panoply of extravagant personalities: Proust, Joyce, Picasso, Mansfield, Wyndham Lewis, T. S. Eliot, Aldous Huxley, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anchor","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46757384749283,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780307742117","price":112.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780307742117.jpg?v=1751657853","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/9780307742117","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
