Beginning with the fifteenth-century invention of modern printing by Gutenberg, MacGregor chooses objects and ideas, people and places which still resonate in the new Germany - porcelain from Dresden and rubble from its ruins, Bauhaus design and the German sausage, the crown of Charlemagne and the gates of Buchenwald - to show us something of its collective imagination. There has never been a book about Germany quite like it.''--", note="Neil MacGregor", note="Accompanies the BBC Radio 4 series", note="``A hardback title published to accompany the exhibition Germany: memories of a nation, written by the director of the British Museum - Neil MacGregor''", isbn="0241008336", language="English" }
