The author of this book:
"... This book should be eigentlih none. But only a commitment to a lover, which I love for many years - and sometimes hate (also belonging to the charity). This mistress is Berlin. Berlin, as it loves, suffers, smiles, blasphemed lives, but lives reflected in these small denominations to resist a big city. Berlin, from all sides, seen by all her moods: Naughty and touching, erotic and political. Daily and remotely related, high personal and high General, as luck I just typed. Melody of the city: gay and serious, high-spirited and melancholy, alluring and disconcerting at the same time. And another thing: it's not just any, timeless Berlin speech, but of a city that has survived the most terrible of all wars, they never struck. Poor, rich, loved, hated Berlin. "
