The Brothel in Rosenstrasse by Michael Moorcock
An old man remembers, the past flooding back, richly powerful. Memories of Alexandra, sixteen-year-old mistress, hungry for all experience. Memories of their time together in Mirenburg, where time and place marked the heyday of high European style; gracious, mannered and opulent, where the influences of Vienna, Paris and St Petersburg jostled, collided and complemented.

A city and society symbolised by the flamboyantly discreet brothel in Rosentrasse where fantasy is realised and reality unimaginable. A doomed and gilded world of exquisite decadence where the prodigal pair play out their intricately sexual rituals.

And all the while the unadorned, styleless reality of civil war closes in on them. A reality that will uncomprehendingly destroy for all time the decorative sensuality that is fin de siècle society in Mirenburg.
