Grand Hotel

Grand Hotel

Vicki Baum

Velebni hotel u središtu Berlina 1920-ih služi kao mikrokozmos modernog svijeta u proslavljenom romanu Vicki Baum, bestseleru Weimarskog doba koji je i danas zadržao sav svoj polet i sjaj.

Među gostima hotela je i doktor Otternschlag, veteran Prvog svjetskog rata kojemu je granata prepolovila lice. Zatim, tu je Grusinskaya, velika balerina koja sada vodi izgubljenu bitku ne toliko protiv godina koliko protiv svog straha od njih, koja može, ali i ne mora biti stvorena za Gaigerna, uglađenog profesionalnog lopova. Javlja se i Herr Preysing, direktor obiteljske tvrtke koja i nije u cvatu kao što se čini, koji nikada ne bi mogao zamisliti da je Kringelein, njegov potčinjeni, plašljivi sitni činovnik kojeg je godinama maltretirao, također došao u Berlin, odlučan živjeti konačno sad kad je dobio medicinsku smrtnu kaznu. Svi ovi likovi i više, sa svim svojim tajnama i težnjama, spajaju se i oživljavaju na stranicama Baumova ukusnog i uznemirujućeg remek-djela.
