In this original study of the classic text of urban modernism--the newspaper page--Peter Fritzsche analyzes how reading and writing dramatized Imperial Berlin and anticipated the modernist sensibility that celebrated discontinuity, instability, and transience. It is a sharp-edged story with cameo appearances by Georg Simmel, Walter Benjamin, and Alfred Doblin. This sumptuous history of a metropolis and its social and literary texts provides a rich evocation of a particularly exuberant and fleeting moment in history. 606 $aGerman newspapers$zGermany$zBerlin$xHistory 607 $aBerlin (Germany)$xPress coverage 615 0$aGerman newspapers$xHistory. 676 $a073.155 700 $aFritzsche$b Peter$f1959-$01098532 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812740903321 996 $aReading Berlin 1900$94021027 997 $aUNINA
