The smallest book about Germany’s most picturesque state
Did you know that
- the Alps make up only five percent of Bavaria’s land mass?
- beer festivals and yodeling competitions are rarer than one would think?
- “Granteln” is a specific state of mind only found in Bavaria?
- being a Bavarian means being blue without being depressed?
There’s no prototypical Bavarian: the people living in this colourfully mottled region are many and varied, with different historical backgrounds, dialects, and their very own cliches. Jörg Maurer, born and still living in Bavaria, has collected the most surprising, incredible, bizarre, and fabulous facts about this multi-faceted state.
- By the bestselling author of the wildly successful Alpine crime novels: total print run of 2 million copies!
