Germania
A Personal History of Germans Ancient and Modern. An often eccentric, always entertaining guide to the history and the hidden wonders of Germany. Author Simon Winder is obsessed with Germany, its cuisine, its architecture, its fairytale landscape. He is equally passionate about the region's history, its folklore, its monarchs and its changing borders. This book is also a very personal guide to the Germany he loves. With a delightfully dry, self-deprecating wit, he explains the origins of his crazed love affair with a country which has at different times revealed the best and the worst aspects of Europe's culture.
