Description
France and Germany - History of a Passion. The Germans and their French: An amour fou over 1000 years After 1945, Germany and France came closer to each other than ever before in history. In Europe, the Paris-Berlin tandem sets the political pace. The partnership on the Rhine has become a permanent fixture. But it was not always so! Günter Müchler is one of the most profound experts on France, and not only because of his brilliant biography of Napoleon. In "Best Enemies" he describes in self-contained, brilliantly written vignettes how and why the rival neighbours have been fighting, reviling - and loving each other for centuries!
both countries are fatefully bound to each other. Günter Müchler shows with a light hand the whole range of the Franco-German relationship: the battles - from the Battle of Bouvines in 1214 to the Second World War -, the cultural exchange - from Madame de Staël to Heinrich Heine -, and the mutual competition and inspiration - from Louis XIV to Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. His book is a pleasure to read for those interested in cultural history and literary knowledge, for Francophiles and Francophobes alike, in short: for historical gourmands.
Günter Müchler is a passionate connoisseur of France and has been studying the French Revolution and Napoleon for many years. He studied history and political science and, after working for various newspapers, moved to broadcasting in 1987. Until 2011, he was programme director of Deutschlandfunk, Deutschlandradio Kultur and DRadio Wissen. With a brilliant biography, he will present the synthesis of his many years of study of the great Corsican in spring 2019
