Germany (Full Color Illustrated Book) (Illustrated World History Series)

"Germany" tells the history of Germany. From the war hymns in the Teutonic Forest to the European giant Frank; from Otto, the father of the motherland, to the hot red beard, Germany was born in hardship, and the kingdom began to take shape in the battle. From the humiliating trip to Canossa to the helplessness of the Interregnum; from the call of the Ninety-Five Theses to the establishment of the principle of religious obedience, royal power fell aside in the split, and the wind of religious reform blew across the land. The unity forged by iron and blood was turned into rubble in the fire. Xiao Su of Weimar became a Nazi madman, and the clouds of war enveloped the land. After the haze, rebirth from the ashes. Goethe's novels, Bach's dances, Beethoven's symphonies, Hegel's criticism, philosophy and art are like coexisting snowdrops, blooming on the German Wall. The statue of the "Lion-Hearted King" still stands quietly in front of Westminster Abbey, and Napoleon's battle flag has been raised on the banks of the Rhine. The poem "Belwulf" is still sung in the mouths of bards, and the passionate heroic symphony echoes in the golden hall of Vienna. The ancient and vicissitudes of Stonehenge, the luxurious and graceful Palace of Versailles, the dream ship Titanic, the lingering fragrance of the housewife salon, sections of dusty history, and each unforgettable memory. The relaxed language tells the historical truth, the professional vision interprets the road to a powerful country, the smooth writing style describes the influential figures, and the detailed historical materials explore historical mysteries. There are more than 600 wonderful legendary stories, more than 2,000 precious historical pictures, and 9 volumes of world writings with 2 million words, giving a panoramic view of the ups and downs in human history of 5,000 years.
