| Summary: |
"These seventeen stories take us on a journey around the extraordinary city of Berlin, past and pressent. The decadence and modernity of the Weimar Republic years, the horrors of war, the divided city and the decades of the Cold War, the fall of the Wall, and the experience of reintegration are all distilled in the miniaturist stories - by turns tragic, humourous, and intensely personal."--Publisher description. |
