Volker Weidermann chronicles the final, sun-drenched summer of 1936 in the Belgian seaside resort of Ostend, where a circle of prominent writers gathered on the precipice of historical catastrophe. Through intimate vignettes, the narrative captures the fragile camaraderie between Stefan Zweig and Joseph Roth as they navigate the mounting political tensions of a Europe rapidly descending into darkness.
