Walking in Berlin: a flaneur in the capital

English

By (author): Franz Hessel

Translated by: Amanda DeMarco

Take a walk around 1920s Berlin with one of its greatest luminaries.

In this timeless guide, originally published in Germany in 1929, Franz Hessel invites his readers to join him on a stroll through Weimar-era Berlin, taking in some of the most fascinating sights the city has to offer, many of which still exist in some form today.

From the Alexanderplatz to Kreuzberg, his record of them has become priceless; as has his fascinating commentary on the seismic shifts shaking German culture at the time.

Superbly written, and as fresh today as when it first appeared, this is a book to be savoured.

About Franz Hessel

Franz Hessel was born in 1880 to a Jewish banking family and grew up in Berlin. After studying in Munich he lived in Paris moving in artistic circles in both cities. His relationship with the fashion journalist Helen Grund was the inspiration for Henri-Pierre Roches novel and later Francois Truffauts film Jules et Jim. Their son Stéphane went on to become a diplomat and author of the worldwide bestselling Indignez-Vous! (Time for Outrage!). He also co-translated Proust with Walter Benjamin as well as works by Casanova Stendhal and Balzac. Franz Hessel died in early 1941 shortly after his release from an internment camp. Amanda DeMarco is an editor translator and the founder of Readux Books. Originally from Chicago she is currently based in Berlin.
