Berlin was nothing more than a colonial city, its sole purpose to conquer the East, its inhabitants a hodgepodge of materialistic individualists. No art or culture with which it might compete with the great cities of the world. Nothing but provincialism and culinary aberrations far and wide. Berlin: 'City of preserves, tinned vegetables and all-purpose dipping sauce'. 'Damned always to become, and never to be'. Scheffler could not have anticipated that his dictum would prove prophetic. No other author has captured the city's fascinating and unique character as perfectly"-- |cPublisher's description. 500 "Originally published in 1910"--Title page verso. 651 0 Berlin (Germany) 651 7 Germany |zBerlin. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204829 655 7 Informational works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 Informational works. |2lcgft 700 1 Illies, Florian, |d1971- |eeditor, |ewriter of introduction. 700 1 Hofmann, Michael, |d1957 August 25- |etranslator. 830 0 Suhrkamp Taschenbuch ; |v5158. 902 960031268 |wcopy |120221108085522.0 910 supplied through approval plan |b88415 |dE-PUBL-BLO |gHARR |hf 912 6652 914 (OCoLC)on1290909675 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240717 |eprocessed |f1290909675 980 20220221 |b26.22 |e31.43 |f274073 |g1 981 |bG0201mon |dhar200504271
