A WATERSTONES BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2023LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024
ONDAATJE PRIZE'A masterful portrait of one of the world's greatest
cities... A must-read' PETER FRANKOPAN'Such a delightful read'
KATJA HOYER, The Times'Berlin may well be Europe's most enigmatic
city and John Kampfner is the ideal guide.' JONATHAN FREEDLAND,
Sunday Times bestselling author of The Escape Artist'Gripping'
Financial TimesNo other city has had so many lives, survived so
many disasters and has reinvented itself so many times. No other
city is like Berlin.Ever since John Kampfner was a young journalist
in Communist East Berlin, he hasn't been able to get the city out
of his mind. It is a place tortured by its past, obsessed with
memories, a place where traumas are unleashed and the traumatised
have gathered. Over the past four years Kampfner has walked the
length and breadth of Berlin, delving into the archives, and
talking to historians and writers, architects and archaeologists.He
clambers onto a fallen statue of Lenin, he rummages in boxes of
early Medieval bones, he learns about the cabaret star so
outrageous she was thrown out of the city. Berlin has been a
military barracks, industrial powerhouse, centre of learning,
hotbed of decadence - and the laboratory for the worst experiment
in horror known to man. Now a city of refuge, it is home to 180
nationalities, and more than a quarter of the population has a
migrant background.Berlin never stands still. It is never
satisfied. But it is now the irresistible capital to which the
world is gravitating.In Search of Berlin is an 800-year story, a
dialogue between past and present, it is a new way of looking at
this turbulent and beguiling city on its never-ending journey of
reinvention.
