Divided in 1961, reunited in 1989, it has morphed over the last twenty-five years into Europe`s most vibrant melting-pot of artists, immigrants & entrepreneurs. Pieces of the wall are collected around the world. Blending memoir, history, anecdote & reportage, this legendary Berliner takes us behind the scenes
- from wrenching stories of life under the Stasi, to the difference between East & West Berliners` sex-lives, to a present-day investigation of its arts scene, night-life, tumultuous politics & hidden quirks
- revealing what makes Berlin the uniquely fascinating place it is. Peter Schneider makes the city come alive. He knows his stuff & shares it beautifully, elegantly, generously & informatively. ” Berlin has found its bard”. (Breyten Breytenbach, author of ` Notes from the Middle World`). Praise for The Wall Jumper: ” Marvelous.. .creates, in very few words, the unreal reality of Berlin”. (Salman Rushdie, New York Times Book Review).” Schneider`s description of the Berlin wall from both sides.. .is the ultimate depiction of this structure. Nothing more need be said”. (Werner Herzog). ” Wonderful”. (Ian Mc Ewan). Peter Schneider was born in Lubeck, Germany, in 1940, & has lived in Berlin on & off since the 1960s, when he was a key spokesperson for its radical student movement. Renowned as a novelist & essayist, he is now the author of more than twenty books, including the Penguin Modern Classic The Wall Jumper. He has taught at many universities, including Stanford, Princeton & Harvard, & written for many international newspapers, including Der Spiegel, The New York Times, Le Monde & La Repubblica.
