Berlin

The Story of a City

Beschreibung

"Berlin is as challenging a city as it is vital, and always has been since its medieval foundation as twin fishing villages. In exploring the fascinating history of this city, discover how a people as civilized and religious as the Germans could have supported the Kaiser and the Nazis as they inflicted the misery upon the entire world."--Provided by publisher.

Rezensionen

'Superb. The city that is always "im Werden" has found its narrator... [Barney White-Spunner] has done something astonishing, constructing a narrative that spans more than a thousand years, that can only be told in the context of the higher political history of Germany, and indeed Europe, yet which at every turn shows his depth of personal affection for a city he knows so well and clearly loves. That mix of the private and the public is just one of the things that makes the book so absorbing.' Neil MacGregor
