Издания и произведения

В сборник эссе и статей австрийского писателя и журналиста, составленный известным переводчиком-германистом М.Л. Рудницким, вошли тексты из берлинских газет 1920-1930-х годов. Во времена Веймарской Германии Берлин оказался местом, где рождался новый урбанистический ландшафт послевоенной Европы. С одной стороны, город активно перестраивался и расширялся, с другой - войны, уличная политика и экономическая стагнация как бы перестраивали изнутри его жителей и невольных гостей-иммигрантов.
