Berlin Tales
Berlin Tales is a collection of seventeen translated stories associated with Berlin. The book provides a unique insight into the mind of this fascinating city through the eyes of its story-tellers. Nearly twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall the stories collected here reflect on the citys fascinating recent history setting out with the early twentieth-century Berlin of Siegfried Kracauer and Alfred Doblin and culminating in an excellent selection of stories from the best of the new voices in the current boom in German fiction. They are chosen for their conscious exploration of the citys image meaning and attraction to immigrants and tourists as well as Berliners from both sides of the Wall. These stories also depict Berlins distinct districts not just the differences between East
and West but also iconic sites such as Alexanderplatz individual neighbourhoods (Jewish Mitte Turkish Kreuzberg) and individual streets. There is an introduction and notes to accompany the stories and a selection of Further Reading. Each story is illustrated with a striking photograph and there is a map of Berlin and its transport system (a frequent motif).There is an introduction and notes to accompany the stories and a selection of Further Reading. The book will appeal to people who love travelling or are armchair travellers as much as to those who love Berlin.
