Germany: MacGregor, Neil.- MacGregor, Neil

Allen Lane. 2008. null 24 cm. xxxix, 598 p. Encuadernación en tapa dura de editorial. Idioma Inglés. Includes bibliographical references (pages 584-587) and index. German history may be inherently fragmented, but it contains a large number of widely shared memories, awarenesses and experiences; examining some of these is the purpose of this book. Beginning with the fifteenth-century invention of modern printing by Gutenberg, MacGregor chooses objects and ideas, people and places which still resonate in the new Germany - porcelain from Dresden and rubble from its ruins, Bauhaus design and the German sausage, the crown of Charlemagne and the gates of Buchenwald - to show us something of its collective imagination. There has never been a book about Germany quite like it. -- . ISBN: 2014472536; 9780241008331
