In the annals of European history, Germany's journey from a mere concept to a formidable nation is a tale of intrigue and ambition. Prior to 1871, the German state was but a figment of imagination. Enter Otto von Bismarck, faced with the Herculean task of unifying thirty-nine disparate states under a single Kaiser's rule. The question loomed: could this fledgling European power rival the might of the British and French empires without imploding?

Katja Hoyer's "Blood and Iron: The Rise and Fall of the German Empire 1871-1918" offers a riveting examination of five pivotal decades that reshaped the modern world. With the precision of a master sleuth, Hoyer unravels the German Empire's tumultuous saga, from its violent inception to its catastrophic demise in the Great War. This gripping narrative peels back the layers of national self-discovery, social upheaval, and cold, hard realpolitik that defined an era.

Like a well-crafted mystery, the story of the German Empire unfolds with unexpected twists and turns, beginning and ending in a maelstrom of blood and iron. Hoyer's meticulous investigation brings to light the complex machinations that forged a nation and ultimately led to its downfall, leaving readers captivated by the rise and fall of this short-lived but profoundly influential empire.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
