18 19SECRET BERLIN
After earning his PhD in philosophy, Tom Wolf decided to dedicate himself to writing. He has written 22 crime
novels, 3 guides inviting travelers to take a fresh look on the places they visit, and a guide on wines produced
in the region of Brandenburg. After spending 12 years in Berlin-Mitte and Kreuzberg, he now lives in the north
of the Berlin/Brandenburg metropolitan region where he looks after his vineyard and his small craft brewery.
But that story is for another time ...
Manuel Roy had been a Germanophile for many years when he discovered Berlin like a punch in the face. He
had seen Germany through the verses of Schiller and the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, and found him-
self in a post-apocalyptic landscape full of punks scrupulously respectful of the selective sorting of rubbish.
He admits to not having understood everything straight away. Twenty years of research later, with a doctorate
(1st edition) in philosophy under his belt, having been a Berliner by adoption since 2000, and a guide in Berlin since 2013,
Manuel now thinks that he has a better grasp of the city. But amazement is never far away. Despite its recent
52195 gentrification, the city never ceases to shake him up and surprise him. And it would seem that he loves that.
9 782361 953737 Born in 1986, Roberto Sassi is an urban sociologist. With Teresa Ciuffoletti, he is the author of the book
Guida alla Berlino ribelle (Voland Edizioni, 2017) (Guide to rebellious Berlin, not yet translated). He regularly
ISBN 978-2-36195-373-7 organises travel writing workshops and works with several journals, magazines among which the journal of the
PRICE £15.99 - 19,95 € - US$21.95 Goethe-Institut Italia, and websites. He lives in Prenzlauer Berg.
PAGES 464
ALSO AVAILABLE IN French & German
An amphitheatre where animals were dissected, a sand dune hidden in a town centre, the oldest for-
gotten remains of the Berlin Wall in Pankow, the outstanding interior of an Expressionist church,
a building which is a copy of the Farnese Palace in Rome, the remains of a camp for those in transit
between the West and East, a concrete construction weighing 12,000 tonnes built to measure the solidity
of the ground, a shining performance in the chapel of a cemetery, an unknown masterpiece of brutalist
architecture, the man-made hill where the aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal did his first test flights, a street
that closes from 10pm to 6am to protect beavers …
Far from the madding crowds and the usual clichés, Berlin remains full of hidden treasures that can
only be seen by locals and travellers who bother to wander off the beaten track.
An essential guide for those who thought they knew Berlin, or for those who wish to discover the city’s
other side.

20 21SECRET LONDON -
Rachel Howard is a journalist and copywriter who has lived in almost every borough in London. A regular contributor
to Conde Nast Traveller, National Geographic Traveler, and The Guardian, Rachel writes mainly about travel, food,
AN UNUSUAL GUIDE
and the arts. She previously spent a decade writing speeches for the Greek foreign minister. But that’s another
story.
Bill Nash is an actor and writer, with family roots all across London. An obsession with the city’s corners is the
foundation for his contribution to this book. He lives in Brixton with his family and an ineffective cat.
‘The best guide to alternative London ever. An essential purchase.’ (The Londonist.com)

Where can you find monsters in Trafalgar Square? Whatever happened to Bedlam? Where can you praise God,
buy meatballs and have a sauna? What’s in the House of Dreams? To which secret society does Prince Charles
belong? What’s the trick to instant weight loss? Secret London, An Unusual Guide is the original and still the best
of all the many alternative London guides: accept no imitation.
Authors Rachel Howard and Bill Nash have prowled the city streets, seeking out the hidden, eccentric and over-
looked. Now the definitive insider’s guide to London has been fully updated, with over 40 new entries and a brand
new look.
Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, London still reserves any number of hidden treasures for those who
know how to wander off the beaten track.

AN UNUSUAL GUIDE
Born and educated in Liverpool, Mike Keating continues to live in the city centre, where he maintains a keen
interest in the local heritage and its history. He is a retired university lecturer and writer with a short acting and
directing career at the Unity Theatre and an even shorter one as a cartoonist on the Liverpool Echo. This is his first
guide-book which also marks his debut in the world of photographic illustration.

Discover for yourself the haunts of slave traders, privateers and press-gangs, the hideaway of a suspected as-
sassin and the desecrated grave of a self-professed Jack the Ripper. Track down the birthplace of rail travel and
Britain’s earliest mosque. Marvel at a life-size replica of the world’s first submarine and the original home of the
Epsom Derby. Be gobsmacked by burial stones older than Stonehenge and one of the earliest human settle-
ments to be found anywhere in the UK. Grimace at a set of heroic dentures all the way from the battlefields of
Waterloo and snigger at the sight of Queen Victoria’s dildo. Meet trees that talk, World War II’s best-kept secret
and the world’s first (and smallest) skyscraper. Toast the UK’s greatest female athlete in a brew named in her
honour or go for a spin on the only purpose-built F1 race track in the country …
For tourists and locals who have outgrown Hop on–Hop off bus excursions, river cruises and Beatles tours,

Towns bombed during the Spanish Civil War that were never rebuilt; an international railway station once teeming
with Nazi and Allied double agents, now concealing a state-of-the-art dark matter research laboratory; a former
munitions dump hewn out of the mountainside; a winery whose vast tanks form a unique architectural site; and
various laboratories that have closed down, their experiments frozen in time …
Although the remains of the old town of Belchite and Canfranc railway station are popular with urban explorers
in Spain, many other historic sites – overlooked even by local people – are on the brink of vanishing into oblivion.

During March, April and May 2020, after the coronavirus outbreak, Venice was in lockdown and totally deserted
for probably the first time in its history. Luc and Danielle Carton, who have lived in Venice since 2005, were
lucky enough to be able to photograph the most beautiful city in the world in such exceptional circumstances.
Their photos are a rare testimony of this extraordinary time.
A unique report.

44 45ABANDONED CHURCHES –
UNCLAIMED PLACES OF WORSHIP In his spare time Francis travels the world in search of places that have fallen into disuse – religious buildings
where time has stood still since their doors were closed for the last time. He returns with incredible photographs,
each a time capsule, a record of a parallel universe. They prompt us to let our imaginations wander and ask our-
selves questions. With the greatest respect for the faithful who regularly visited them long ago, he offers us an
opportunity to immerse ourselves in places that have been abandoned by faith, to seek a divine light.

Between 2012 and 2019 Francis Meslet photographed several hundred places of worship across Europe. Over
time, these places have became enveloped in silence, the only thing heard there now an occasional gust of wind
whistling though broken stained glass, or the rhythmic drip of water leaking through the dilapidated roof above a
nave. Nevertheless, these muted places still draw an occasional visitor. Once upon a time, prayers could be heard
recited in Latin in a German church; and in a French Catholic college, the voices of children once resounded to the
sound of the bells. But who can imagine what sounds might be concealed behind the walls of a crypt in the heart
of the Italian mountains, or within a tomb in a former convent in Portugal?

The Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan was created by the Soviets in the 1950s. It was from Baikonur in 1988
that the first Soviet spaceplane, Buran, was launched in response to the United States Space Shuttle.
The Buran programme officially ended in 1993 during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin, with only that initial launch to its
name. Thereafter, much of the Baikonur Cosmodrome fell into disuse, notably the sites connected with the launch of
these Soviet craft. Two completed shuttles remain abandoned there, laid to rest in this atmospheric place.
This is the first time that photographs of these spectacular locations have been published in a book. Under cover
of night, Jonk travelled 20 kilometres through the Kazakh desert, crept into the hangars, and spent three nights
hiding from military security, to produce a truly incredible reportage of what is considered today the world’s most
important urban exploration site.
