The Germans
The Germans
Tey have given mankind unique triumphs in science, literature, philosophy, music
and art. They have also produced Hitler and the Holocaust. They are romantic and
conservative, idealistic and practical, proud and insecure, ruthless and good-natured.
They are, in short, the Germans.
Now Gordon A. Craig, one of the world's premier authorities on Germany, comes to
grips with the complex paradoxes at the heart of the German identity. In a masterly
study that explores the roots of many contemporary institutions in German history
and closely examines such topics as religion, money, Germans and Jews, women,
professors and students, romantics, literature and society, soldiers, Berlin, and the
German language, Professor Craig offers invaluable insights into a people and a
nation that have played a pivotal role in world affairs for over a century.
"The author, using his fund of lore with deftness and discretion, tells us what the
contemporary Germans are like, the problems the two Germanys face, and the
current status of everything from German prose to German feminism"
