Joachim Schlör

The lighting of European cities by gas and electricity in the 19th century brought about a new relationship with the night. Researcher Joachim Schlor has sifted through countless police and church archives, city records, and first-hand accounts, and has explored the highways and byways of Paris, Berlin, and London to trace the development of "night life"--bars, clubs, cabarets, and the worlds of criminality and prostitution. 69 illustrations.

Paris, Berlin, London 1840-1930

Nights in the Big City

In Tel Aviv – From Dream to City Joachim Schlr brings the reader closer to this "most talked about city." The author interviewed numerous inhabitants and gathered information from books, travel accounts, newspaper articles and memoirs. He looks at the city from its origins right up to the present: Tel Aviv as a centre of immigration that contains reminders of each immigrant's mother country; as a catalyst between East and West; and – not least – as a place of transformation for Jews who fled the Nazi terror.
