title: Rheinsberg
author: Tucholsky, Kurt
description: One summer before World War I, a young couple escapes on a romantic weekend getaway to the small German town of Rheinsberg, north of Berlin, in the midst of a 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. This edition features an afterword by Dr. Peter Boethig, the director of the Kurt Tucholsky Museum in Rheinsberg.
