Berlin! Berlin! Dispatches From The Weimar Republic, Berlin Stories from the Golden Twenties. (Kurt Tucholsky in Translation)

The foreword was written by Anne Nelson, the author of “The Red Orchestra: The Story of the Berlin Underground and the Circle of Friends Who Resisted Hitler”. Ian King, the distinguished chair of the Kurt-Tucholsky-Society and a former professor of German in London and Sheffield, who wrote his Ph. D. on Tucholsky and is the co-editor of Volume 3 of Tucholsky’s Complete Works provided a biographical introduction. “His writings still have lessons for us today,” King writes, “that a man who might have preferred to write idylls, humorous pieces and unpolitical verse instead devoted his life to fighting against injustice and arguing passionately against the addiction to military uniforms which afflicted too many of his compatriots.”

Peter Schneider, the author of the Berlin novel "Walljumper" writes about this book: “Kurt Tucholsky was one of the most brilliant German-Jewish writers and satirists of his time. He had to leave his beloved Berlin because of his biting, witty stories against militarism and Nazi Fascism. Today’s Berliners adore him as one of the greatest sons of this city. The world has yet to discover his genius.” This collection of Tucholsky’s stories, with many pictures of the old and the new Berlin has never been published in America—or in English—before. This book will hopefully help to rediscover the famed writer in the United States.
