Vertigo: The Rise and Fall of Weimar Germany, penned by the acclaimed author Harald Jäner, is an essential read that has been recognized as *An Observer Book of the Year, 2024*. This compelling narrative takes you on a journey through the chaotic and transformative years of Germany from the aftermath of World War I to the rise of the Nazis in 1933.

In this riveting account, Jäner explores the Weimar Republic, a period marked by hope and turmoil. As Germany emerges from the ashes of war, the book illustrates a nation grappling with:

  • Political Extremism: Witness the rise of factions vying for control amidst a fragile democracy.
  • Economic Instability: Experience the struggles of a society facing severe economic challenges.
  • Revolutionary Fervor: Understand how societal norms are upended and new ideas flourish.

Jäner dives deep into the cultural renaissance of the Weimar Republic, capturing a vibrant world where:

  • Women break free from traditional roles, embracing independence.
  • Fashion trends celebrate androgyny and experimentation.
  • Cities come alive with nightlife, dance halls, and intense political discourse.

However, beneath this lively façade lies an undercurrent of division, hinting at the impending clash over the republic's future. With his previous work, *Aftermath*, receiving high praise for clarity and insight, Jäner offers readers a kaleidoscopic exploration of a defining moment in history that echoes today's global challenges. Immerse yourself in this captivating study of a nation and its complexities.

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.’
