Beschreibung

<p><b>Vincent comes of age in Paris in the summer of 1916.</b><br><br>With German Zeppelins on the skyline, the men of Paris are off at war. For Vincent, the sixteen-year-old son of a prestigious family, the stillness of the city sits at odds with the candlelit salons he attends at night. <br><br>Then an electrifying encounter with the enigmatic writer, Marcel P, draws Vincent's desires out into the light, while his ever-riskier liaisons with a young solider begin to shape his future.<br><br>As the First World War tightens its grip, <i>In the Absence of Men</i> captures the urgency of youth and the fragility of love in a world on the brink of catastrophe.<br><br><b>'A short, bold and original novel which beautifully captures the romance and amorality of gilded youth' Independent</b><br><br><b>Elegant novellas-in-translation, VINTAGE EDITIONS celebrate the audacity and ambition of the written word, transporting readers to wherever in the world literary innovation may be found.</b></p>
