Germany, oh Germany

The bestseller now in a revised paperback edition

Hardly any Englishman willingly sets foot on German soil without professional reasons. A mistake, says Simon Winder. He himself is downright obsessed with Germany. With a keen sense for the quirky and the obscure, he explores German history for us, with its dark forests, brave heroes, and terrible villains. Always in good spirits and highly entertaining, he shows us the most fascinating cities with their stories, takes us to castles, museums, churches, and taverns, and tells tales of Goethe and the Germans, of graves and vegetables.
