A Very Brief History of Germany
About This Novel
Comprehensive and vivid, there is no better brief history of Germany. --Philip Pullman (British writer, author of "The Golden Compass") With more than 200 pages and more than 100 pictures, you can read 2000 years of German history in one afternoon and understand the complicated history and today's pattern of Europe. Beginning in 58 BC, when Caesar called them "Germans" who "lived on the other side of the Rhine", and ending with Angela Merkel's new term, the ups and downs of German history in 2000 are condensed into more than 200 pages: historical facts at key nodes, and examination from a new perspective. With observations and annotations of more than 100 illustrations, "A Brief History of Germany" clearly clarifies the origins of the German nation, the expansion and contraction of its territory, the change of dynasties, the game of political power, the growth and decline of the economy... And how it created the trauma of the two world wars and how it became the hope of Europe. This "terrific little book" has been recommended by many European and American media as "A Minimal History of Germany that you must love to read." It is a "must read" for understanding Germany, the hinterland of Europe, and even the entire Western world. Since its publication, it has been on the sales list of major media and bookstores in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan, and is a highly respected historical book of the year.
