""Metropolis Berlin" evokes a kaleidoscopic panorama of impressions, opinions, and utopian hopes that constituted Berlin from the end of Imperial Germany to the rise of National Socialism. Iain Boyd Whyte and the late David Frisby invite the reader to be a "flaneur "in a truly great city, to marvel at the vitality of its urban spaces, and to listen to the cacophony of its voices and sounds. This extraordinary anthology of hundreds of documents tells the story of metropolitan Berlin by letting its inhabitants, visitors, and critics speak. A must have for every personal bookshelf and library."--Volker M.

It presents this global city, in all its architectural, urbanistic, and discursive richness and complexity, like no other volume before it."--Frederic J. Schwartz, author of "Blind Spots: Critical Theory and the History of Art in Twentieth-Century Germany."
