In the fall of 1927, Erika and Klaus Mann embarked on a joint world tour. For nearly a year, they traveled through the USA, visited Hawaii, Japan, Korea, and the Soviet Union. They met celebrities from Greta Garbo to Emil Jannings and discovered much that was unknown. Upon their return, the siblings wrote a humorous account filled with anecdotes about their experiences. In this new edition of this unique document, the 35 photos from the original 1929 edition are reprinted for the first time, and Uwe Naumann discusses the unknown background of this extraordinary journey in his afterword.
