Description

Wings of Desire - Angels of Berlin is a whimsical, colorful photo collection of the many angels that watch over Berlin, from the city's gates and bridges, church steeples, museums, and ancient cemeteries. Some stand proudly above the entrances of mansions, and some are modestly hidden in back yards. We'll meet angels from the Wim Wenders landmark movie as well as Marlene Dietrich, the famous "Blue Angel," and the angelic singer Hildegard Neff. Berlin angels also dance at parades, linger in icecream parlors, and decorate Christmas markets. And even some pets in Berlin have their very own guardian angel. This is a book that will warm your heart.

Author Biography:

Lothar Heinke, a Berlin native, worked as a chief reporter for the East Berlin paper Der Morgen (The Morning) until 1991. After the Wall fell, he joined the metro section of Tagesspiegel, Berlin's leading daily. He wrote about the transformation of Checkpoint Charlie, changes in the former GDR, and Berlin metro stories. In 2005, he published the book Fernsehturm Berlin (The Berlin TV Tower). Even though he is now retired, he continues to work for Tagesspiegel. He lives with his wife in Berlin-Mitte, likes to listen to music (especially classical), loves traveling in Italy, and is a member of the Berlin 1 FC Union soccer club.
