Erst kürzlich sprachen wir von Berlins berühmten Exil-Schriftstellern. Heute geht es zur Sache: Wir präsentieren euch eine Liste an Büchern, die in Berlin spielen und sich um die Hauptstadt drehen. Ein paar der berühmten, nach Berlin ausgewanderten Autoren finden sich hier auch wieder. Wir haben uns auf Bücher konzentriert, die es auf Deutsch und Englisch zu lesen gibt. Hier sind zehn Bücher, die ihr euch unter die Nase halten solltet. Im englischen Teil des Artikels mit Links zu den englischen Versionen der Bücher.
Interesting article… but maybe a link could lead to an independent (Berlin) bookshop instead of amazon.. there are still bookshops to buy books as long as people don’t buy everything on Amazon… once there won’t be any shops anymore, it will be too late.. and in Germany the price for books is always the same
Hey André, thanks for your feedback! You are absolutely right, even better – why not make it a separate article? I will look for the best independent bookshops in Berlin soon and put together a list.
All the best!
Hi there, nice shortlist for berlin books you’ve put together! I totally agree on the independent bookstore idea. If you will be writing and article about it or make another list consider this one to be in it please:http://web2.cylex.de/firma-home/buecher-galerie-antiquariat-p–eichler-buchhandel-5628175.html
Peter Eichler owns his little shop for over ten years and opened it because he obviously loves books and also he wanted to keep active after he retired. Lovely man, nice individual shop which offers also lectures every now and then. Peter knows his books and will be helpful with finding what you’ve been looking for 🙂
Out of print, but still possible to find: Ian Walker’s excellent Zoo Station: Adventures in East & West Berlin

thanks for your recommendation! 🙂
thanks for the tip! 🙂
Hello. 🙂
Great list.
I am off to buy some books at a bookstore called St. George’s Book store (All English bookstore)
It’s one of my favorite places to buy books in English and they have a wide collection. If they don’t have the book, they’ll order it for you.
So one has to do the middle aged fck boy book come Berliners .
That all people do here its absurd.
As for book shops there is only one.

Glad to see Isherwood here. I think that the Berlin Noir Trilogy by Philip Kerr should also be part of this list.
