Synopsis:
"This collection of essays, Views of Berlin, is dedicated to all those who want to know more about the reality, the history, and the equivocal, even sometimes absurd, present situation of this unique, 750-year-old city. Berlin, divided since 1945, continues to be alive and creative in all aspects of human endeavor. The city has become the intersection of East and West, the "seismograph" of contemporary developments, cultural and political, in both the capitalist and communist world." -- from the book's back cover Published just before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the essays in this book hold up a mirror to a city, Berlin, that was the dead center of a world that had struggled for over fifty years over its primary ideology and economy, capitalism vs communism. -- SGE
