'Startling, dark and absorbing' Independent 'Excellent travel
writing: vivid, sympathetic, humorous' Guardian 'Fascinating,
provocative and highly eccentric' New York Times
_______________________ In 1886 Elisabeth Nietzsche, the
philosopher Friedrich's bigoted, imperious sister, founded a
'racially pure' colony in Paraguay together with a band of
blond-haired fellow Germans. Over a century later, Ben Macintyre
sought out the survivors of Nueva Germania to discover the remains
of this bizarre colony. Forgotten Fatherland vividly recounts his
arduous adventure locating the survivors, while also tracing the
colorful history of Elisabeth's return to Europe, where she
inspired the mythical cult of her brother's philosophy and later
became a mentor to Hitler. Brilliantly researched and mordantly
funny, this is an illuminating portrait of a forgotten people and
of a woman whose deep influence on the twentieth century can only
now be fully understood.
