'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. 'A splendid offering' — Financial Times. 'Entertaining and informative... Delightful' — Philip Hensher, Independent. 'Beautifully written and insightful' — Irish Times.
