Beskrivning
Swallow the Toad is a light and fast read which will amuse all those who know a little about the German mindset. In her eleven years living and working in Germany, Abigail takes us on a journey to a place full of chaos, confusion and contradictions and discovers the deep chasm that exists between the stereotypical view of Germany and the reality.At a time when Europe is wondering about the origins and features of the struggling German economy which has once again labelled this nation as the "sick man of Europe", these pages offer a kind of psychological and sociological insight arising from personal and day-to-day experiences.Anyone planning to move to the "country of sausages and sauerkraut" can get some useful tips and advice, knowing that if they go ahead they will have to frequently 'swallow the toad'.
