Published in 1929, this book is one of the best accounts of the zeitgeist of the 1920s in Germany. In contrast to the speed, pressure, and frenzy of the Weimar Republic, the author invites the reader to indulge in strolls, to wander aimlessly with him through the city. "Walking slowly along a busy street is a special pleasure. You are overwhelmed by the rush of other pedestrians, as if bathing in the waves of the shore." Hessel strolls through bustling Berlin, passing through squares, streets, factories, and parks, visiting the eastern part of the city with its backyards and market halls, and the western part with its all-night cafes. Hessel's flâneur learns from the city, which combines hidden and obvious features of the past and future, as well as the fleeting, elusive present.
