Opis i karakteristike
Berlin, in the words of Philip Hensher, editor of this anthology, 'has always been a city of desperate modernity', both in terms of urban architecture largely a creation of the progressive 19th century, laid waste by World War II, temporary home of the infamous Wall and in ways of living and behaving. As early as the 1920s it was the gay capital of Europe; the Communist East/free West barrier presented unique problems for a divided population; and in the 1990s, in the aftermath of reunification, the cheap, rundown city became a vibrant centre for creative artists. 'The sense of making it up as you go along is never far away in Berlin.'
