Neil Macgregor – Germany – Relié

Neil MacGregor's unique and bestselling view into Germany's history and collective imagination, now available as a compact paperback. He argues that uniquely for any European country, no coherent, over-arching narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history have always been unstable.

Neil MacGregor argues that uniquely for any European country, no coherent, over-arching narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history have always been unstable. Its frontiers have constantly floated. Königsberg,
