«La Rive Gauche» is the historical essay by Herbert Lottman, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (472 pages, in Spanish).
In the 1930s, Paris's Rive Gauche brought together writers and artists who formed an intellectual elite influential in the politics of their time. The German occupation and the subsequent purge revealed their contradictions; Herbert Lottman narrates the rise, glory, and decline of the «committed intellectual».
Volume 56 of the Tiempo de Memoria collection, published in June 2006; translation by José Martínez Guerricabeitia.
For readers of European history and the political commitment of intellectuals in the twentieth century.
Herbert Roger Lottman was an American author who specialized in writing biographies on French subjects. An influential biographer, he published 17 biographies, 15 of which were related to French culture, commerce, or politics; including works on Albert Camus, Colette, Gustave Flaubert, Henri Philippe Pétain, Jules Verne, and the Rothschild banking family of France. He wrote that, just before dying, Albert Camus was pledged to marry. Camus's estate tried to block his book, partly because of this controversial statement.
