{"product_id":"out-of-austria-marietta-bearman-9781350172449","title":"Out of Austria: The Austrian Centre in London in World War II","description":"The Austrian Centre was established in London in 1939 by Austrians seeking refuge from Nazi Germany, of whom 30,000 had reached Britain by the outbreak of World War II. It soon developed into a comprehensive social, cultural and political organisation with a theatre and a weekly newspaper of its own. A Communist-influenced organisation, it also followed a distinct political agenda. In the first book on the cultural and political life of Austrian refugees in Britain, \u003ci\u003eOut of Austria\u003c\/i\u003eassesses and evaluates the Austrian Centre's activities and achievements, while also examining the Austrians' often fraught relations with their British hosts. It gives a fascinating insight into such figures as Sigmund Freud, who became the Centre's Honorary President during his final months and the poet Erich Fried, then an unknown seventeen-year-old, and sheds light on the interaction of politics and culture against the background of exile in wartime Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marietta Bearman, Charmian Brinson, Richard Dove\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350172448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350172449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.59d","brand":"Marietta Bearman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213302493439,"sku":"9781350172449","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ccd69e9-581d-4449-9dde-cbde29b963b8.jpg?v=1692113115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-of-austria-marietta-bearman-9781350172449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
