David Frye explores the historical significance of walls and barriers, especially the way they separate and subdivide cities, empires and nations, from the mysterious ruins of ancient Near Eastern and Central Asian ‘walls against the wasteland’ to the Berlin Wall. As the role of borders comes under increasing scrutiny today, Frye suggests that the symbolism of walls has become an integral part of human understanding.
