Kornbogen : brødets og øllets historie
Åsmund Bjørnstad (f. 1951)
Revises conventional narratives of German history, demonstrating the existence of a distinctly German presence in the world centuries before its unification and revealing a national identity far more complicated than previously imagined. The author traces Germany’s evolution from the loosely bound Holy Roman Empire of 1500 to a sprawling colonial power to a twenty-first-century beacon of democracy.
