Berlin, the capital city of Germany, can be seen as a 25-year-old city. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city`s identity evolved to be modern, tolerant & at times even eccentric. This identity was forged by the reunion of two close but disparate populations. On one side, Berliners lived in a city of right angles: grey, dull, comfortless, with uniformity as dogma. On the other, the architecture was more traditional & eclectic, & the lifestyle much more comfortable. Today, thanks to the successful reunification, Berlin is becoming one of the most visited capitals in Europe. In his Berlin Sketchbook, artist Fabrice Moireau ever passionate about urban architecture captures both the iconic sites & hidden corners of Germany`s capital, bringing out the best of the city. ...

A New York Review Books Original. In 1905 the young Swiss writer Robert Walser arrived in Berlin to join his older brother Karl, already an important stage set designer, & immediately threw himself into the vibrant social & cultural life of the city. Berlin Stories collects his alternately celebratory, droll, & satirical observations on every aspect of the bustling German capital, from its theaters, cabarets, painters` galleries, & literary salons, to the metropolitan street, markets, the Tiergarten, rapid-service restaurants, & the electric tram. Originally appearing in literary magazines as well as the feuilleton sections of newspapers including the Berliner Tageblatt, the Vossische Zeitung, & the Frankfurter Zeitung, the early stories are characterized by a joyous urgency & the generosity of an unconventional guide. Later pieces take the form of more personal reflections on the writing process, memories, & character studies. All are full of counter-intuitive images & vignettes of startling clarity, showcasing a unique talent for whom no detail was trivial, at grips with a city diving headlong into modernity. ...
