The Weimar Republic Sourcebook (Volume 3)

Great book, has everything you'll need to understand Weimar Germany.

It's comprehensive and includes shining lights of the time like Walter Benjamin, Brecht, Erich Kästner, Siegried Kracauer, Sigmund Freud.... Also included are some conservative and early National Socialist writers... for a preview of where things were headed. Look at the table of contents!

This is a collection of essays and other works written during the interwar years in Germany, translated from German to English. It is a great tool for undergraduate and graduate students who don't read or speak German. It does reflect, for the most part, the more open-minded writers of the time, but does also include a few essays by writers who will become Hitler's followers. It is well organized and easy to use for research for papers. It is also quite interesting.

Required text for class, didn't take too long to arrive and doesn't seem to be missing any pages, came in solid condition. Content wise theres actually a lot of interesting stuff in here. If you just have assigned readings you may want to flip around on your own you might find something that piques your interest.

There is no words to sing this book's praises. If you have a decent understanding of World War I and its aftermath, this book is incredible. I believe everyone should understand the competing thoughts that dominated the turbulent time before Hitler's rise; to prevent it from happening again!

I rented this book for my college thesis in Weimar Germany this spring. It was in great shape and shipped fast. It has a vast array of documents. I would recommend this to anyone studying Weimar Germany. Amazon also pays for the return shipping which is fantastic! I love Amazon Rentals!

Excellent book and a great seller.

great

What an eye opener! A great read with 'bite sized' chapters on lots of different aspects of both the country and the period. If you've read Isherwood then read this as well.

All fine.

Everything is here. Very useful for serious students of this period. Comprehensive short ,biographies, Useful Political chronology and practical index.

This is a kind of bible for all who enter Weimar studies. Really useful and precious because it preserves papers otherwise lost forever. Thank you very much!
