Rheinsberg.

<p>One summer before World War I a young couple escapes on a romantic weekend getaway to the small German town of Rheinsberg north of Berlin in the midst of a rural landscape filled with country houses and castles cobble-stone streets lush forests and dreamy lakes. The story of Wolfie and Claire told with a fresh new style of ironic humor became Kurt Tucholsky's first literary success and the blueprint for love for an entire generation. Kurt Tucholsky was a was a brilliant satirist poet storyteller lyricist pacifist and Democrat; a fighter lady's man one of the most famous journalists in Weimar Germany and an early warner against the Nazis. Erich Kaestner called him a small fat Berliner who wanted to stop a catastrophe with his typewriter. When Tucholsky began to write he had five voices-in the end he had none. His books were burned and banned by the Nazis who drove him out of his country. But he is not forgotten.</p><p></p></p><p><p></p><p>Berlinica Publishing LLC offers English-language books from Berlin German; fiction non-fiction travel guides history about the Wall and the Third Reich Jewish life art architecture and photography as well as travel guides and cookbook.
