-
A fascinating portrait of the turbulent political, social, and cultural life of the city of Berlin in the 1920s.

-
The great cities at the turn of the century were mediated by words--newspapers, advertisements, signs, and schedules--by which the inhabitants lived, dreamed, and imagined their surroundings. In this original study of the classic text of urban modernism--the newspaper page--Peter Fritzsche analyzes how reading and writing dramatized Imperial Berlin and anticipated the modernist sensibility that celebrated discontinuity, instability, and transience. It is a sharp-edged story with cameo appearances by Georg Simmel, Walter Benjamin, and Alfred Döblin. This sumptuous history of a metropolis and its social and literary texts provides a rich evocation of a particularly exuberant and fleeting moment in history.

Berlin has played a major role in world politics since the Nazi era. It was made hostage in the Cold War, and is now, once again the great capital of Germany. This book is a chronicle of the partitions of this city, from the administrative division to the destruction of the Wall.
