Where was the Alley of the Hanged? How many casino players used the dance floor? Did the dance floor really dance? Which repertoire dominated the stage of the Forest Opera? Where could one buy a fashionable hat and who could have a evening dress tailored? Aleksandra Tarkowska answers these and other questions in her book "Sopot Between the Wars: A History of Urban Life 1918–1939." The incorporation into the Free City of Danzig did not strip the spa town of its elegant bathing character from before World War I. After several years of war stagnation, it began to pulse again and earned the nickname "Riviera of the North" thanks to the constantly growing range of attractive entertainment options. The book vividly and originally introduces the reader to the history of the city between the wars, to high politics and discreet diplomacy, to culture, economy, and the daily lives of the residents and vacationers of Sopot. In addition to anecdotes and interesting facts, serious topics are also addressed: religious life, Poles in Sopot, the city's infrastructure, press, architecture, artists, and Freemasonry. There are also chapters about all the attractions of the spa resort, which attracted thousands of bathers and sun worshippers. The atmosphere of Sopot during the interwar period is conveyed through stylish graphics from archival photos, postcards, plans, maps, and statistical data. This is complemented by memory fragments from former Sopoters, quotes from the press of the time, as well as an extensive information and address section. An index of German street names and their contemporary Polish equivalents facilitates navigation through the city during this time. A time travel is possible, especially into the magical era of this enchanting city! The book includes free extras: a city map from the 1930s and a DVD with films about Sopot during the interwar period.
