The statistics prove that more and more Germans know less and less about their home country. But this book comes to the rescue! Replacing between six and fourteen years of school, it explains the Federal Republic of Germany without any taxing technical terms, confusing sentence structures or complex phrases but with double helpings of wit and humour – just like the extremely successful books I am America (and so can you) by Stephen Colbert and America. Teacher´s Edition. A Citizen´s Guide to Democracy Inaction did for the US.
In collaboration with well-known parascientists and celebrated guest authors, author Jan Böhmermann condenses two thousand years of German history onto exactly 224 pages, proving that Germany is not as complicated as FAZ and RTL would have us believe, in fact it’s three times funnier.
The book takes a critical look at all school subjects: from geography, religion (which is the best?), economy to history – all worthy academic subjects get a mention. Final and intermediate tests guarantee full comprehension, and lots of humorous step-by-step instructions and theme-related educational games make All there is to know about Germany this year’s ultimate book gift.
