THE HEIMAT TRILOGY
The three series of Heimat form a "people's history of Germany", the 20th Century as lived by the Simon family and the people around them. As the rural way of life is challenged by technological advances, the Nazis come to power and Germany is divided in two, this gripping story follows the effects upon ordinary people. A moving and complex story about the various meanings of 'homeland' (Heimat).
