Description

Berlin's history is palpable in its streets and buildings. The city's past - of Europe, Germany, and the 20th century's complexities - lingers in the air around old Hinterhofs and deserted railway stations. No other city has played such a pivotal role in European affairs. This book follows Berlin's rich and inspiring history from revolutionary fervour to Imperial pomp, modernism, and the brutality of the Nazis. Alexandra Richie masterfully weaves together the city's story, revealing its role as a crucible of change. With superb writing, she brings to life the tumultuous years that shaped this metropolis. Richly researched and engagingly written, 'Faust's Metropolis' is an extraordinary history of Berlin, one that will appeal to anyone interested in European affairs and the 20th century.
