A frantic love letter to love itself, Romeo & Seahorse is a sexy, frightening, tender, and visceral rush through Berlin’s chemsex scene. Nikolaj Tange Lange will read from the book and talk about some of the themes; love, desire, and addiction, and why Romeo and Juliet has more to say about chemsex than it does about love. Copies are available for advance purchase at ivallan’s if you want to read them ahead of the event and be part of the discussion. Nikolaj will sign your copy if you bring it 💚
The veteran historian, freelance journalist, tour guide and author reads from his newest book Revolutionary Berlin, an anticapitalist walking guide. Few European cities can boast a history as storied and tumultuous as that of Berlin. For more than 150 years it has been at the centre of revolutionary politics; of era-defining struggles between the Left and the Right. It has been bombed, rebuilt and carved in two. In Revolutionary Berlin, you can stand in the places where this history was written, and to follow in the footsteps of those who helped write it. Through nine self-guided tours illustrated with maps and photographs, readers enter the heady world of 19th century anti-colonial struggles, the 1918 November Revolution and the 1987 May Day riots — encountering the city's workers, queer community and radical women along the way. The first English-language guidebook to tell the story of Berlin's radical history, this is a must-have for Berliners and visitors alike. We will have the book for sale at the shop. Already own it? Bring it to get it signed! Plus: How Revolutionary are you? History Quiz with ivallan’s prizes!
