populous nation, unravelling old preconceptions so that the visitor may understand the country afresh, as one of
its own citizens.
The book narrates the story of Germany?s rich (but often overlooked) cultural heritage: Western philosophy
was shaped by Leibniz, Kant, Hegel and Marx; composers from Beethoven to Kraftwerk have directed the flow of European music; and Schiller, Goethe and Mann all count among the greats of world literature.
