This " Bertolt Brecht' s Berlin : A Scrapbook of the Twenties " rare vintage 1975 first edition cultural arts hardcover book is a an incredibly special and unique book to add to your library collection.
The hardcover book with black linen covered boards, silver tone foil embossed spine titles, and dust jacket is published by Anchor Press / Doubleday, printed in The United States in 1975, authored by Wolf Von Eckardt and Sander L. Gilman.
" Everything is overflowing with dreadful tastelessness, but on what a level! " That was Bertolt Brecht's first impression of Berlin when he arrived there from Munich in 1920. And yet, tasteless, decadent, mad as it might be, Berlin between the two World Wars was a stunning phenomenon - a hotbed of art, entertainment, and high living that radiated its influence over all the rest of Europe, and the world.
This book is a testament, in words in pictures, to that city and that time - to the age of anxious euphoria that gripped the German capital as it poised uneasily between two eras of unprecedented catastrophe. The result is an exciting, authoritative, endlessly captivating portrait of a very special city in a vert special time.
The rare out of print 1st edition book measures 10 1/4" W X 8 1/4" H X 3/4" D, with 170 pages, featuring more than 280 illustrations most photographs never published before. It is in excellent vintage condition consistent with age, use, and light signs of handling and wear to the dust jacket cover. Please see photos for condition reference. It is now being offered here for an excellent price. less
