Produktinformationen zu „Germany “
Neil MacGregor's unique and bestselling view into Germany's history and collective imagination, now available as a compact paperback. He argues that uniquely for any European country, no coherent, over-arching narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history have always been unstable. There has never been a book about Germany quite like it.
Klappentext zu „Germany “
Neil Macgregor's unique and bestselling view into Germany's history and collective imagination, now in paperback. Macgregor argues that uniquely for any European country, no coherent, over-arching narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history have always been unstable. Beginning with the 15th century invention of modern printing by Gutenberg, Macgregor chooses objects and ideas, people and places which show us something of this collective imagination. Allen Lane's biggest hardback book (by turnover) of 2014.

Pressezitat
From sausages and porcelain to the glory days of Bauhaus, MacGregor has produced a dazzling history that goes far beyond the stereotypes of Nazis, forests and leather shorts. The illustrations alone - the glittering interior of Aachen Cathedral, the engravings of Albrecht Dürer - make you want to jump on the first flight to Berlin Dominic Sandbrook Sunday Times
