Comete time. 1918. The world makes a breakthrough

A bright flash of comet is 1918 for the further history of mankind. The eleventh of November 1918 is not only the last day of the World War, which threw all the old order into the abyss. This day is the embodiment of the originals of hopes for a better life. New opportunities and new dreams broke out, and, like the tail of a comet, a string of paintings and faces stretches behind them.
In the book of the famous German historian Daniel Schönpflug (born 1969), this unique historical moment is embodied in a series of real destinies: Virginia Wolf, Harry S. Truman, Arnold Schounberg, Mahatma Gandhi, Rudolf Hess, Ho Shi Min and many others. The historian’s sharp gaze helps to see the grain of future triumphs and disasters in this colorful kaleidoscope of the events of the grain of future triumphs.
