En savoir plus sur le livre

Literary Nonfiction. Photography. Translated from the Slovenian by Brian Henry, Forrest Gander, and Alja Kova . BERLIN is a lyrical account of the city as well as a book of discoveries, allusions, and traces, an homage to great literary figures who have lived in Berlin. 31 prose miniatures are combined with 21 black-and-white photos taken by teger in the city. Instead of describing, teger works to create a web of Benjaminian passages and allusions, a flaneurian book full of small details that takes the reader on a smooth yet unpredictable journey through the city, which turns out to be a city of texts."
