Der deutsche Genius. Eine Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte von Bach bis Benedikt XVI.

The book covers so many pivotal moments—I'm curious what motivated the author to emphasize Germany's influence across different eras.

The timeline spans centuries and continents. Was it easier to follow because of the narrative style, or did it make some parts feel rushed?

There are countless influential people and moments in German history—I'm interested in what guided the author's choices in framing the narrative.
