Rheinsberg: A Storybook for Lovers; And Among City Wizards Love Poems For Claire (Kurt Tucholsky in Translation)

In the summer of 1912, a young couple escapes on a romantic weekend getaway to the small German town of Rheinsberg, an hour north of Berlin, in the midst of the 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.
