  • "On a night in May 1922, five of the greatest artists of the 20th century sat down to supper: Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Pablo Picasso, Serge Diaghilev and Igor Stravinsky."
  • "History. Biography. One May night in 1922, in a grand hotel in Paris, five of the greatest artists of the 20th century sat down to supper. It would be the only time that Joyce and Proust, Picasso, Diaghilev and Stravinsky were in a room together. Each of these exponents of early twentieth-century modernism was at the peak of his powers, and of all of them, Proust was enjoying the most spectacular success. Yet within six months he would be dead. A Night at the Majestic evokes the luxury and glamour of early-twentieth century Paris, the intellectual achievement of the modernist movement and the gossip, intrigue and scandal of aristocratic France. "An imaginative, gracefully written book." - Independent. "Davenport-Hines' book is wholly engrossing." - Simon Callow."
  • "Prenant comme point de départ la soirée du 18 mai 1922, soirée organisée à l'hôtel Majestic à Paris par les mécènes Sydney et Violet Schiff qui a vu se rencontrer Proust, Diaghilev, Stravinsky, Picasso et Joyce, cette biographie retrace la vie, la carrière et les amours du grand romancier."
