Love In The Days Of Rage

Description

This poetic novel about love in a time of revolution and change, from one of the most influential literary figures of modern times, is a work of lyricism, commitment, painting, politics, passion and intellect. Set in Paris in May of 1968, revolution and love are in the air as the love between a young American Painter and her Portuguese lover, a banker and anarchist, unfolds against those heady days when students of the Sorbonne tried to find common cause with workers who despised them, and Annie's passion for the world meets Julian's disdain for the human race.
