Originally published in Germany in 1929, Hessel captures the rhythm of Weimar-era Berlin, Today, many years after the Nazi era and the postwar reconstruction that followed, the areas visited are all still prominent and interesting. From the Alexanderplatz to Kreuzberg, his record of them has become priceless. As fresh today as when it first appeared, this is a book to be savoured.
