A classic prescient work of pre-WWII literature by a major Weimar author about a young used car salesman. In search of another means to live the high life, he decides to travel from Berlin to Madrid to see the World's Fair - and hopefully meet a beautiful, rich woman who can provide for his every whim. The Eternal Philistine is a highly stylised and at times raucously funny tale of the almost absurd: a dark satiric look at Europe on the brink of Fascism, seen from all levels of society.
