Oktoberfest

200 Years of Oktoberfest: Bilingual Anniversary Edition. The largest and most beautiful folk festival in the world - celebrated by American star author Thomas Wolfe. This literary gem explores all the highs and lows of the lively spectacle. It shows how one can fall in love with Munich and experience the blue-and-white wonder among the Bavarians. Festival beer, traditional costumes, and brawls - "Munich nearly killed me," Thomas Wolfe groaned after a brawl at the festival. Yet, despite a broken nose and several bruises, he remained loyal to his city of destiny for life. No place in the world enchanted the great American writer more, and no place gave him such overwhelming feelings - both good and bad. In this book, it is amusingly described how the greenhorn from North Carolina became a Munich lover and honorary Bavarian. Wolfe reveals.
