Carl-Peter Steinmann, a passionate and now very popular urban storyteller, has embraced the once frowned-upon but now appreciated tradition of the Sunday stroll with his first successful volume. Families or groups of friends agree on a meeting point and set off cheerfully. The enjoyment comes from a dash of adventure (exploring an unknown corner or area that one has always wanted to see), a joyful dose of curiosity, and a luxurious approach to time: time to observe, to notice seemingly trivial details, or to discover something new behind familiar facades. Such a stroll works just like reading—only it is more sociable and usually ends with a delightful reward: one stops at a local eatery to indulge in the offerings of a café or restaurant that one has never tried before.
