Berlin Imagine a City by Rory MacLean Berlin is a city of fragments and ghosts, shaped by the lives of those who have lived, dreamed, and shaped its history. From the medieval balladeer to the ambitious prostitute who became a royal princess, this city has been home to a dazzlingly eclectic cast of characters. Through vivid portraits of these individuals, Rory MacLean masterfully evokes the seen and the unseen, revealing the complex and often contradictory nature of Berlin's history. Alongside figures like Marlene Dietrich and Goebbels, this biography brings to life the city's most volatile and creative moments. This unique biography offers a richly varied and unexpected tour of Berlin's history, one that is both deeply researched and engagingly told.
