Description
Ben Macintyre's Forgotten Fatherland tells the story of Elisabeth Nietzsche, Friedrich's sister who founded a 'racially pure' colony in Paraguay with a group of fellow Germans in 1886. Over a century later, Macintyre embarked on an adventure to locate the survivors of Nueva Germania and uncover its history. Through his research, Macintyre reveals the colorful story of Elisabeth's return to Europe, where she inspired a mythical cult surrounding her brother's philosophy and later became a mentor to Adolf Hitler. This book is a vivid account of a forgotten people and a woman whose influence on the 20th century can now be fully understood. Brilliantly researched and with a mordant sense of humour, Forgotten Fatherland offers an illuminating portrait of Elisabeth Nietzsche's life and legacy.
