Description

In a world steeped in nostalgia and grandeur, the elderly Count von Bek reflects on his illustrious past in pre-World War I Mirenburg. His memories flood back to a time filled with opulent indulgence and extravagant escapades, particularly centered around the captivating figure of Alexandra, a woman who defined both his passions and excesses.

As the Count navigates the labyrinth of his recollections, he conjures a vivid portrait of a society on the brink of chaos, juxtaposed with the lush beauty of his youth. The brothel on Rosenstrasse serves as a symbol of both decadence and desire, a place where dreams and realities intertwine amidst the backdrop of a changing world.

Through Moorcock’s masterful storytelling, readers are invited into a vividly realized historical landscape, exploring themes of memory, longing, and the inexorable passage of time. The tale immerses them in a rich tapestry of emotions, revealing not just the allure of physical intimacy but also the deeper connections that linger from one generation to the next.
