Berlin! Berlin! is a satirical selection from the man with the acid pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy, who was as much the voice of 1920s Berlin as Georg Grosz was its face.

Produktbeschreibung
Berlin! Berlin! is a satirical selection from the man with the acid pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy, who was as much the voice of 1920s Berlin as Georg Grosz was its face. It shines a light on the Weimar Republic and the post-World War¿I struggle, which fore¬shadowed the Third Reich. Kurt Tucholsky was a brilliant satirist, poet, storyteller, lyricist, pacifist, and Democrat; a fighter, lady's man, reporter, and early warner against the Nazis who hated and loathed him and drove him out of his country. He was a "small, fat Berliner," who "wanted to stop a catastrophe with his typewriter," wrote his contemporary, Erich Kästner. When he began to write, he had five voices-in the end, he had none. He was one of the most famous journalists in Weimar Germany, surrounded by women, but he died alone in Sweden, an enemy of the state, among the first authors whose books were burned and banned by the Nazis in 1933. But he is not forgotten. This book collects Tucholsky's news stories, features, satirical pieces, and poems about his home town Berlin, never published in America before. With a foreword by New York author Anne Nelson and an introduction by Ian King, the chair of the Kurt-Tucholsky-Society.
Berlin! Berlin! von Kurt Tucholsky, ist eine Sammlung satirischer Texte über die Heimatsstadt des Autors, von dem Mann mit der spitzen Feder und den genauen Ton, der die Stimme des Berlins der zwanziger Jahre war. Das Buch ist die erste und einzige englischsprachige Zusammenstellung von Tucholsky-Texten über Berlin, und eines der wenigen Bücher mit Tucholsky-Texten, das auf Englisch erschienen ist. Es bietet einige biographische Texte, Klassiker wie die "Löcher im Käse," aber auch politische Texte über das Berlin nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg und der Weimarer Zeit. Das Buch ist teils bunt bebildert mit Fotos von dem Autor selbst, seinen Freunden, Tucholsky Wohnungen in Berlin und was heute noch an ihn erinnert. Das Vorwort stammt von der New Yorker Autorin Anne Nelson, mit einer Einleitung von Ian King, der langjährige Vorsitzende der Kurt Tucholsky-Gesellschaft.
