BERLIN STORIES - PHILIP HENSHER GEBUNDEN

A gorgeously jacketed hardcover anthology of classic stories set in Berlin  by an international
array of brilliant writers.  Berlin has long been a magnet for writers and artists from all
over. Since the nineteenth century  when Dostoevsky sought inspiration in the city  to the
creative ferment of the 1920s Weimar Republic  when German Expressionism flourished and expats
like W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood found a haven there  Berlin has served as a leading
cultural capital with an international reputation. Leveled during World War II and then divided
by the Berlin Wall for decades  it is a city that has experienced multiple rebirths  and the
stories collected here reflect that rich history. Classic German writers like Theodor Fontane 
Robert Walser  Alfred Döblin  and Christa Wolf sit alongside writers from elsewhere  including
Vladimir Nabokov  Christopher Isherwood  Ian McEwan  Len Deighton  and Kevin Barry.
