Forgotten Fatherland

"Forgotten Fatherland," written and read by Ben Macintyre, explores the intriguing history of Elisabeth Nietzsche, sister of the philosopher Friedrich, and her 1886 founding of a racially driven colony in Paraguay. The audiobook recounts Macintyre's diligent search for survivors of this unusual colony and delves into Elisabeth's subsequent return to Europe, where she influenced her brother's legacy and had connections to later historical figures. Vivid, humorous, and meticulously researched, this story sheds light on a largely overlooked chapter of history and its surprising echoes in the twentieth century.
