In times of decreasing sales numbers, journals and magazines that focus on living in the country enjoy increasing popularity - particularly the German magazine Landlust. Based on recent observations of social and cultural geography, Christoph Baumann has researched this love of country life. By combining a historical analysis, a media-analytical in-depth study and a diagnostic interpretation of society, his study shows to what extent a positive reference to country life has evolved historically and what part it has in our current society, in which more and more people live in cities.
