Cool Conduct : The Culture of Distance in Weimar Germany, Hardback Book

Cool Conduct : The Culture of Distance in Weimar Germany Hardback

Part of the Weimar & Now: German Cultural Criticism series

Hardback

Description

"Cool Conduct" is an elegant interpretation of attitudes and mentalities that informed the Weimar Republic by a scholar well known for his profound knowledge of this period.

Helmut Lethen writes of "cool conduct" as a cultivated antidote to the heated atmosphere of post-World War I Germany, as a way of burying shame and animosity that might otherwise make social contact impossible.
