40 perspectives on Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg in north-eastern Germany: Personalities closely associated with the city on the picturesque Lake Tollense draw attention to places near to them - beautiful old buildings, popular residential areas and locations, modern industrial companies and attractive leisure destinations. Born in Neubrandenburg and still living here, photographer Bernd Lasdin has captured all this with his camera and his professional eye in opulent and atmospheric photos. The accompanying texts of author Christine Stelzer are short and concise. A book that delights in brick-red warmth and modern polish, contrasts and diversity, urban life and extravagantly beautiful natural surroundings.
