Book ID/图书代码： 00530017C00020

English Summary/英文概要： ’Compelling’ - Daily Telegraph

Without the benefit of hindsight, how do you interpret what’s right in front of your eyes?

The events that took place in Germany between 1919 and 1945 were dramatic and terrible but there were also moments of confusion, of doubt - of hope. How easy was it to know what was actually going on, to grasp the essence of National Socialism, to remain untouched by the propaganda or predict the Holocaust?

Travellers in the Third Reich is an extraordinary history of the rise of the Nazis based on fascinating first-hand accounts, drawing together a multitude of voices and stories, including students, politicians, musicians, diplomats, schoolchildren, communists, scholars, athletes, poets, journalists, fascists, artists, tourists, even celebrities like Charles Lindbergh and Samuel Beckett. Their experiences create a remarkable three-dimensional picture of Germany under Hitler - one so palpable that the reader will feel, hear, even breathe the atmosphere.

These are the accidental eyewitnesses to history. Disturbing, absurd, moving, and ranging from the deeply trivial to the deeply tragic, their tales give a fresh insight into the complexities of the Third Reich, its paradoxes and its ultimate destruction.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书英文原著于2017年8月在英国出版，迄今荣膺《卫报》“2017读者之选年度图书”、《每日电讯报》“2017年度十佳图书”等重量级奖项，备受肯定。作者运用细腻笔触，以众多个体（包括学生、政客、音乐家、外交官、学者、运动员、记者、法西斯分子、艺术家、游客等）在1919年至1945年的故事，讲述纳粹的崛起。他们的经历构建了希特勒治下德国的另一个维度，也让读者几近身临其境地感受到恐惧。他们的悲剧故事让人压抑，也提供了一个全新角度来看待第三帝国，思考它存在的悖论与毁灭性。(DB)

Awards/获奖情况："A compelling historical narrative ... both flatters and challenges our hindsight. [Boyd] lets her voices, skilfully orchestrated, speak for themselves, which they do with great eloquence" -- The Daily Telegraph

"Fascinating ... surreal scenes pepper Boyd’s deep trawl of travellers’ tales from the scores of visitors who were drawn to the ’new Germany’ in the 1930s" -- The Spectator

"A fascinating book" -- Robert Elms, BBC Radio London

"To a younger generation it seems incomprehensible that after the tragic Great War people and political leaders allowed themselves to march into the abyss again. Julia Boyd’s book, drawing on wide experience and forensic research, seeks to answer some of these questions." -- Randolph Churchill

"In the 1930s the most cultured and technologically advanced country in Europe tumbled into the abyss. In this deeply researched book Julia Boyd lets us view Germany’s astonishing fall through foreign eyes. Her vivid tapestry of human stories is a delightful, often moving read. It also offers sobering lessons for our own day when strong leaders are again all the rage" -- Professor David Reynolds, author of The Long Shadow: The Great War and the 20th Century

"Drawing on the unpublished experiences of outsiders inside the Third Reich, Julia Boyd provides dazzling new perspectives on the Germany that Hitler built. Her book is a tour de force of historical research" -- Dr Piers Brendon, author of The Dark Valley: A Panorama of the 1930s

"What was Nazi Germany really like in the run up to the Second World War? Julia Boyd’s painstakingly researched and deeply nuanced book shows how this troubled country appeared to travellers of the 1930s who did not have the benefit of hindsight. A truly fascinating read" -- Keith Lowe, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Fear and the Freedom, Savage Continent and Inferno

"Engrossing … skilfully woven together to create a three-dimensional picture of Germany under Hitler that has many resonances for today" --Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller

"A revealing and original account. Some of Adolf Hitler’s fellow travellers, lulled by self-deception, gulled by propaganda, deluded themselves about Nazi Germany as they deceived others" --Sir John Tusa

"With an almost novelistic touch, [Boyd] presents a range of stories of human interest ... The uncomfortable moral of Travellers in the Third Reich is that people see and hear only what they already want to see and hear" -- David Pryce-Jones, Standpoint

Congratulations to Julia Boyd whose paperback edition of Travellers in the Third Reich went to no 1 in the Sunday Times non-fiction bestseller list.
