Reseña del editor:

`It made me laugh so hard that I woke up my wife and had to give up reading the book in bed. If Bill Bryson had collaborated with W. G. Sebald to write a book about Germany, they might have wound up with something like this' Sunday Times Germania is a very personal guide to the Germany that Simon Winder loves. Equally passionate about the region's history, folklore, cuisine, architecture, and landscape, Winder describes Germany's past afresh - and in doing so sees a country much like our own: Protestant, aggressive and committed to eating some very strange food. This accessible, enthusiastic and startlingly vivid account is a brilliant introduction to the hidden wonders of Germany. `His rich and broadly chronological history of Germany and its peoples is minutely researched . . . A splendid offering' Financial Times `Entertaining and informative . . . Delightful' Philip Hensher, Independent `Beautifully written and insightful . . . a witty, thought-provoking account of Germany's various histories, cultures and oddities' Irish Times. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
