Berlin! Berlin!

<p>Berlin! Berlin! is a satirical selection from the man with the acid pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy who was as much the voice of 1920s Berlin as Georg Grosz was its face. It shines a light on the Weimar Republic and the post-World War I struggle which fore¬shadowed the Third Reich. Kurt Tucholsky was a brilliant satirist poet storyteller lyricist pacifist and Democrat; a fighter lady's man reporter and early warner against the Nazis who hated and loathed him and drove him out of his country. He was a small fat Berliner who wanted to stop a catastrophe with his typewriter wrote his contemporary Erich Kästner. When he began to write he had five voices-in the end he had none. He was one of the most famous journalists in Weimar Germany surrounded by women but he died alone in Sweden an enemy of the state among the first authors whose books were burned and banned by the Nazis in 1933. But he is not forgotten. This book collects Tucholsky's news stories features satirical pieces and poems about his home town Berlin never published in America before.
