New ebook
Munich: From Monks to Modernity
Munich? Grand capital of Bavaria: city of art, beer, the Oktoberfest and Germany’s high-tech capital? Or the birthplace of Nazism, home to the British and French policy of ‘Appeasement’ and the tragedy of the 1972 Olympics? Few cities suffer from such a complex collection of contrasting images and stereotypes as Munich does. It is a city packed with figures of European import, ranging from Holy Roman Emperors to artists such as Wassily Kandinsky; from towering literary figures of the calibre of Thomas Mann to football greats such as Franz Beckenbauer. When published as a hard back in 2010, 'Munich: From Monks to Modernity' was a first much-needed English-language history of the Bavarian capital . Now completely updated to reflect recent research and events to take it up to 2021, this ebook version is a vivid introduction to more than 860 years of Munich’s history.
