Berlín Insólito Y Secreto by Tom Wolf

Un anfiteatro donde se disecaban animales, una duna escondida en pleno centro de la ciudad, el vestigio más antiguo del Muro de Berlín olvidado en Pankow, el excepcional interior de una iglesia expresionista, un edificio que es una copia del Palacio Farnesio en Roma, los vestigios de un campo de acogida para los que pasaban del oeste al este, un edificio de hormigón de 12000 toneladas para medir la solidez del suelo, una performance luminosa en la capilla de un cementerio, una obra maestra desconocida de la arquitectura brutalista, la colina artificial desde donde el pionero de la aviación Otto Lilienthal hizo sus primeros intentos de vuelo, una calle que cierra de 22 h a 6 h para proteger la actividad de los castores...

Lejos de las multitudes y los típicos clichés, Berlín sigue guardando tesoros escondidos que desvela únicamente a los habitantes y viajeros que buscan salirse de los caminos trillados.

Una guía indispensable para los que creían que conocían Berlín o para los que deseen descubrir la otra cara de la ciudad.
After earning his PhD in philosophy, Tom Wolf decided to dedicate himself to writing. He has written 22 crime novels, 3 guides inviting travellers to take a fresh look on the places they visit, and a guide on wines produced in the region of Brandenburg. After spending 12 years in Berlin-Mitte and Kreuzberg, he now lives in the north of the Berlin/Brandenburg metropolitan region where he looks after his vineyard and his small craft brewery. But that story is for another time ... Manuel Roy had been a Germanophile for many years when he discovered Berlin like a punch in the face. He had seen Germany through the verses of Schiller and the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, and found himself in a post-apocalyptic landscape full of punks scrupulously respectful of the selective sorting of rubbish. He admits to not having understood everything straight away. Twenty years of research later, with a doctorate in philosophy under his belt, having been a Berliner by adoption since 2000, and a guide in Berlin since 2013, Manuel now thinks that he has a better grasp of the city. But amazement is never far away. Despite its recent gentrification, the city never ceases to shake him up and surprise him. And it would seem that he loves that. Born in 1986, Roberto Sassi is an urban sociologist. With Teresa Ciuffoletti, he is the author of the book Guida alla Berlino ribelle (Voland Edizioni, 2017) (Guide to rebellious Berlin, not yet translated). He regularly organises travel writing workshops and works with several journals, magazines among which the journal of the Goethe-Institut Italia, and websites. He lives in Prenzlauer Berg.
