Alone or with his sister Erika, he began from that moment to travel the world - Europe, Asia, the United States... But, very quickly, this carefree and free life of a dandy of the Roaring Twenties - hard drugs, sex, open homosexuality - was interrupted by the rise of Nazism, which he resolutely opposed from the start. A promising writer encouraged by Cocteau and Gide, he founded in exile an anti-fascist magazine to which Einstein, Brecht, Trotsky, Pasternak, Roth and Hemingway notably contributed, and participated, in 1934, in the preparation of the International Congress for the Defense of Culture with René Crevel. After serving as a war correspondent in Spain on the Republican side, he settled in the United States in 1938, and it was in American uniform that he was to return to a ruined Germany. His novels - Flight to the North, The Volcano, Mephisto - already contained numerous autobiographical fragments. But it was not until The Turning Point, which he completed shortly before his suicide in Cannes in 1949, at the age of forty-two, that he masterfully painted the tragic fresco of his time. The beauty of the book lies in this strangeness: it is the unconfessed autobiography of a man more attentive to others and to his time than to himself.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eEAN\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003e9782742773589\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Used book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Book in \u003ca data-jwlink-type=\"page\" data-jwlink-identifier=\"16528063\" data-jwlink-title=\"Les différents états\" href=\"\/en\/les-differents-etats\"\u003egood condition\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The book matches the photo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Webador","offers":[{"title":"The Turning Point - Story of a Life - Klaus Mann - book","offer_id":51690862346579,"sku":"9782742773589","price":5.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/7599\/9571\/files\/librairie-biscarrosse-chasse-aux-bonheurs-17-standard-k7ikgg.jpg?v=1755917056","url":"https:\/\/chasseauxbonheurs.fr\/en\/products\/le-tournant-histoire-d-une-vie-klaus-mann-livre","provider":"Chasse aux bonheurs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
