Haven't We Met Before Somewhere? Germany From the Inside Out Searle & Heinz 1966

Description: Haven't We Met Before Somewhere? Germany From the Inside Out Searle & Heinz by Ronald Searle, Heinz Huber and Constantine Fitz Gibbon (Translator) Scarce vintage hardcover – from the inside cover: Sometimes no larger than a mailed fist, at others more like an octopus with endless tentacles, Germany has for many decades conjured up an unattractive picture to those outside its fluid borders. And the Germans themselves? Those sheep-like seekers after the Holy Aryan Grail, those warlike Wotans born to ravage? Those Rhinemaidens spurring them on to sharpen their swords-when they aren't guzzling beer and sausages, that is. The prototype Wotan, as a representative portrait of a German, is about as generally accurate as the idea that all Welshwomen spin their days away in a sort of decapitated witches hat. But somewhere in the entanglement of clichés lies the truth. What is Germany? Who are the Germans? These are bewilderingly difficult questions.Undaunted, Searle (English) and Huber (German), set out from different angles to attempt to meet in the middle with an answer. They have succeeded in producing a brilliantly original book. Factual, wry, probing and very funny indeed. Here explained, bared -and in parts, flayed- is Germany and the German people. --- All items are packed with care, and shipped with tracking from Melbourne.
