Learn German with the Augsburg Saga - B2 German Reader (B2 Omnibus)
Learn German through immersive storytelling, historical realism, and carefully controlled B2-level German - in one continuous, demanding, and rewarding volume.
Learn German with the Augsburg Saga - B2 German Reader (B2 Omnibus) brings together all five B2 novellas into a single, coherent reading experience covering the years 1929 to 1945. This omnibus combines the complete B2 sequence into approximately 173,000 words (print edition approx. 730 pages), offering sustained, serious reading practice for advanced learners and students preparing for C1.
Set mainly in Augsburg and southern Germany, these stories follow the Hartwig family as everyday life becomes increasingly shaped by economic collapse, political radicalization, war, persecution, and the breakdown of familiar routines. The focus remains on ordinary settings: workshops, offices, kitchens, pharmacies, stairwells, radios, forms, letters, and quiet conversations behind closed doors. History is not explained from above - it enters daily life gradually, often without being named.
At B2, German becomes fully expressive. Sentences grow longer and more layered. Vocabulary becomes more exact. Meaning often unfolds across scenes rather than single lines. The language reflects how adults speak, think, hesitate, and adapt - while remaining controlled and accessible for learners who want to build real reading confidence.
What this Omnibus includes:
• Five complete B2 novellas (B2.1-B2.5) • Short English introductions before each novella (historical orientation, main characters) • German-only main texts written consistently at B2 level • Chapter summaries, comprehension questions, and full-sentence answers • Long-form narrative immersion across all five books • Quiet, realistic storytelling focused on everyday experience • Historically grounded scenes from 1929-1945: economic crisis, bureaucracy, deportations, air raids, absence, exhaustion, and survival
Why this approach works
Most advanced readers rely on short texts or isolated articles. The Augsburg Saga instead offers long-form immersion through a continuous family narrative that spans multiple CEFR levels (A1-C1). Because characters, settings, and relationships return again and again, vocabulary and structures become familiar through context and memory - not memorization.
At B2, grammar appears naturally inside meaningful scenes: administrative language, indirect speech, restrained dialogue, and descriptive precision develop organically through story.
Who this book is for:
• Learners progressing from B1 who want sustained reading practice • Advanced self-study readers seeking serious, well-edited material • Teachers looking for reliable, chapter-based B2 reading content • History-interested readers who value calm, realistic narration • Students preparing for C1 who want a controlled transition to independent reading
A bridge to C1
Completing the B2 Omnibus is a major milestone. If you enjoy this volume, the Augsburg Saga continues at C1, where the story moves beyond 1945 toward reconstruction, memory, political conflict, and life in a world that increasingly resembles our own - up to the present day.
Read with patience. Read with attention. And let your German grow naturally through story.
