About the Book
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 ice cream parlors, and decorate Christmas markets. And even some pets in Berlin have their very own guardian angel. This book will warm your heart.
