Berlin: A City for the Future

Since 1989, Berlin has been a city reborn: a phoenix risen from the ashes of the Second World War and reunited after the division of the Cold War years. e city struggled to pick itself up, but has now regained a position that sees it attract artists, musicians and intellectuals from all over the world. This book has an introductory chapter dedicated to the city's history (indispensable for an understanding of the reasons behind its complex structure and patchwork of styles). The accompanying images provide a fascinating gallery of glimpses and views of the monuments of this city; a city that has managed to blend its different souls and the not-always-consistent effects of history in order to display itself, as it does in this book, as a worthy European metropolis and a capital of art and architecture.
