Anita Loos: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Gebunden

Klappentext

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1925) by Anita Loos is a satirical novel presented in the form of a diary written by Lorelei Lee, a charming but seemingly naïve blonde from Little Rock, Arkansas. Lorelei travels from New York to Europe with her friend Dorothy, navigating high society with her wit, beauty, and an eye for wealthy men. Though Lorelei appears superficial-obsessed with diamonds, fashion, and marrying rich-her diary reveals sharp social observations and cunning manipulation of the men around her. The novel humorously critiques 1920s materialism, gender roles, and class through Lorelei's misadventures and romantic entanglements. The story is both a comedy of manners and a clever feminist commentary disguised as frivolous fun.
