The German Book is a poetic journey through Germany's history, culture, philosophy, and imagination, seen through the eyes of a Brazilian poet who lived and studied in Germany during the late 1980s.
While attending the University of Münster, where he devoted himself to philosophy, Latin, and Greek, the author encountered a country whose intellectual and cultural traditions would leave a lasting mark on his life. Decades later, those memories return transformed into poetry.
From the ancient world of the Edda to the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, from Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, these poems weave together literature, mythology, theology, philosophy, and personal remembrance. Alongside reflections on Germany's great thinkers and artists are intimate moments drawn from everyday life, revealing the country not only as a place of ideas, but also as a lived experience.
Neither a travel memoir nor a history book, The German Book is a lyrical portrait of Germany in all its richness and complexity—a meditation on memory, identity, culture, and the enduring dialogue between two worlds: Germany and Brazil.
A collection for readers who love poetry, philosophy, literature, and the cultural heritage of Germany.
