Germany - A nation in a dilemma

Hermann Selchow

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Germany - A Nation in a Dilemma - Almost a Declaration of Love Germans seem to love their defeats like other nations love their victories. Why? This nation, which licks its history like a wound and takes pleasure in doing so, is the subject of a book that dissects the dilemma of an entire culture: "Germany - A Nation in a Dilemma - Almost a Declaration of Love." Germany - a country that has turned failure into an art form. The author of this provocative work, Hermann Selchow, dissects the German soul with the precision of a pathologist and the tenderness of a lover. The result: a literary X-ray of a nation, sometimes exaggerated, but always close to the truth. But this book is no cheap voyeurism of German defects. It is a diagnosis with heart, a criticism without contempt. The author, himself a member of this people, not only exposes the mechanisms of German self-sabotage but also demonstrates its productive power. For those who destroy themselves so virtuosically also master the art of renewal. German readers will feel caught out – and perhaps for the first time, be able to smile at their own abysses. Foreigners will gain insight into the psychic landscape of a people who guard their traumas like relics. Sociologists and psychologists may find material for years of analysis. The book is written in the style of a loving postmortem: perceptive without coldness, ironic without cynicism. A rare balance between science and humanity. The question for the future remains: Can the Germans overcome their self-destruction? Or is it perhaps their most precious asset? The author offers no easy answers, but the right questions. "Germany - A Nation in a Dilemma" is therapy as literature, social criticism as an act of love. A book for all who want to understand Germany – and for Germans who finally want to tolerate themselves. Duration - 7h 7m. Author - Hermann Selchow. Narrator - Digital Voice Martin G.
