Screen Shot 2014-08-20 at 17.39.11Well…just a few of them, and they’re all fictional. We should definitely welcome them. After all, what do we know of that shadowy nation, Germany? Our textbooks and philosophers have little to say. It is a land shrouded in mists, populated by men and women whose customs are unfamiliar and whom we should, were we ever to encounter one of these marvellous creatures, surely find strange and bizarre. In the fragments that comprise Germania, George Szirtes provides us with the most astute psychological, geographical, anthropological, and theological survey of Germany yet. Should the place be one day proven to exist, this is your guide.

Germania is available for pre-order now, with an estimated ship date of September 23.
