Vertigo: The Rise and Fall of Weimar Germany is an extraordinary work by renowned author Harald Jäner, hailed as *An Observer Book of the Year, 2024*. This gripping narrative chronicles the tumultuous era from the aftermath of World War I to the rise of the Nazis in 1933, painting a vivid portrayal of a nation in transformation.

In the wake of defeat and revolution, Germany stands at a crossroads. The Weimar Republic emerges as a beacon of hope, offering the promise of democracy amidst chaos. Jäner masterfully captures the essence of this pivotal period, where:

  • Political extremism ignites.
  • Economic instability ensues.
  • Revolutionary fervor shapes society.

As tradition is challenged, the book delves into the cultural renaissance of the Weimar Republic, where liberated lifestyles flourish. Women break societal norms, embracing independence while fashion trends celebrate androgyny and experimentation. Cities buzz with vibrant nightlife, dance halls, and political discourse, reflecting a society teetering on the brink of profound change.

However, beneath this vibrant surface lies a brewing division, as factions clash over the republic's future, foreshadowing dire consequences. Jäner's Vertigo is a kaleidoscopic exploration that reveals both the spirit and the fractures of a moment in history that reshaped the twentieth century.

Praise for Jäner's previous work, *Aftermath*, underscores his ability to illuminate complex historical narratives: “Exemplary... This is the kind of book few writers possess the clarity of vision to write” - Max Hastings, Sunday Times.

Immerse yourself in this essential read that not only tells the story of a nation but also resonates with today's global challenges.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
