Germany: Memories of a Nation

Description

Neil MacGregor guides us through the complex history, culture and identity of Germany by telling the stories behind 30 objects in his uniquely magical way. Beginning with the 15th-century invention of the Gutenberg press, he ventures beyond the usual sticking point of the Second World War to get to the heart of a nation that has given us Luther and Hitler, the Beetle and Brecht – and remade our world again and again. This is a view of Germany like no other.
