This early 20th century volume offers a comprehensive overview of German civilization, penned by Ernst Richard, a respected German historian and professor at Columbia University. Published in 1911, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the scholarly understanding of German culture and history just prior to the cataclysmic events of World War I. Despite its age and library markings, the book remains a valuable resource for those interested in the development of German society, its intellectual traditions, and its cultural achievements. Richard’s erudite yet accessible style invites readers to explore the rich tapestry of German civilization, from its ancient Germanic roots to its emergence as a modern nation-state. This well-preserved copy, with its characterful wear and tear, serves as a tangible link to a pivotal era in German and European history, making it a prized addition to any collection focused on German studies or the intellectual currents of the early 20th century.
