'A splendid offering' Financial Times 'An idiosyncratic often funny fusion of history writing
travel writing and disrespect' Sir Tom Stoppard 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.
