A city devasted by Allied bombs, divided by a Wall, then reunited and reborn, Berlin today resonates with the echo of lives lived. No other city has repeatedly been so powerful and fallen so low. And few other cities have been so shaped by individuals imaginations. Through vivid portraits spanning five centuries, Rory MacLean reveals the varied and rich history of Berlin, from its brightest to its darkest moments. We encounter an ambitious prostitute refashioning herself as a princess. Marlene Dietrich flauting her sexuality and Hitler fantasising about the mega-city Germania. The result is a uniquely imaginative biography of one of the world´s most volatile yet creative cities.
