So elegantly, so easily, so comprehensively educated and well-read, without leaving all of this or the, of course, thorough research hanging out, Florian Illies has been fanning out important years such as the pre-war year 1913 and entire eras such as the 1930s in “Love in Times” for several books of hatred”. Already at the turn of the millennium he delivered a portrait of his generation, the teenagers of the eighties, with “Generation Golf”. He shone as an art historian, curator, journalist, briefly lost his way as a publisher – and is now publishing another one of those feather-light books that you like addictive reads and with which you fly through time. The subtitle says it: “Caspar David Friedrich’s journey through time.”
