Download Alexanderplatz, Berlin AudioBook Free
Alexanderplatz has long survived as the sign of a city burdened by its ruinous recent. In 2012, twenty-year-old Jonny K. was beaten to fatality upon this infamous Berlin square - and Germany's first multicultural murder helped bring another great shock to a country that's seen its show. Before the trial, the question of guilt already experienced an ideological slant: Was Alexanderplatz itself to blame? Was the socialist architecture? The brutality of capitalism? Georg Diez pursues the secret of Alexanderplatz in a narrative at once contentious and sincere. He portrays a city shaking free from the ethnical pathos that identified it, even while its people wrestle with the legacies of Hitler and an East German program that isolated the square before the Berlin Wall dropped. In imaginative prose, Diez details a historical icon unleashed in modern Germany, fueled by unbridled venture and consumerism. On the way, he requires the position quo to job and unveils a provocative view of the German capital in a troubled era.
