From the Inside Flap
The Germans are well-known as some of the world s most enthusiastic travellers. Yet many of them have had personal experience of only a small part of their own country. Up to 1990 Germany was divided and people had little opportunity to discover the other side for themselves. "Over there", whether west or east, remained virtually unknown territory.This superbly illustrated volume is, therefore, designed to introduce Germans and non-Germans alike to the many attractions that post-1990 Germany has to offer. It will also, we hope, encourage visitors to set out on their own voyage of discovery.Over thirty well-known landscape photographers have contributed an outstanding selection of illustrations in full colour. There can be few parallels to this book for the sheer number of photographs, their amazing variety and the fine quality of the reproductions. COLOURFUL GERMANY shows urban and rural Germany at its most typical and most beautiful, a country whose countless historic buildings and art treasures bear witness to the fascinating patchwork of its history. Our journey begins on the northern coast and passes through the old and new states of Germany, from the Oder to the capital Berlin, along the Rhine and south to the Bavarian Alps. The photographs are accompanied by informative texts in German, English and French.The introduction, written by the distinguished German journalist and broadcaster Peter von Zahn, is a must for all those who wish for a deeper understanding of the Germans and their country. Peter von Zahn surveys Germany s various landscapes, the diverse historical background of its people and the development of German culture in an affectionate tribute remarkable for its humour and critical insight.
Chaque année, à l époque des vacances, les Allemands partent en des voyages lointains. Mais la plupart d entre eux n ont visité qu une petite partie de leur propre pays. Jusqu en 1990, la République fédérale d Allemagne était un territoire presque inconnu pour les Allemands de l Est, tout comme l était la République démocratique allemande pour les Allemands de l Ouest .Ce livre d images a été créé pour présenter les beautés de l Allemagne et donner des idées de voyages aux citoyens de la nation aujourd hui réunie et aux autres peuples qui aimeraient découvrir ce beau pays.Sur 192 pages de papier couché, plus de 30 photographes de sites connus présentent des clichés superbes dont la diversité, la qualité photographique et la technique d impression sont incomparables.L ouvrage renferme un choix des paysages et villes allemandes les plus beaux et les plus typiques. Monuments historiques et uvres d art précieuses témoignent de l histoire mouvementée de l Allemagne. Le voyage commence dans le nord, sur la côte; il nous emmène à travers les anciens et les nouveaux Länder, de l Oder au Rhin, en passant par la capitale Berlin, et se termine dans les Alpes bavaroises. Des textes informatifs écrits en français, allemand, anglais accompagnent le périple en images.L auteur réputé Peter von Zahn a rédigé la préface récapitulative. C est avec originalité et humour qu il décrit les particularismes des paysages allemands, les origines variées de leurs habitants ainsi que l évolution de leur culture.
