A Short History of Europe: From Pericles to Putin
Autor Simon Jenkinsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 mar 2019
In
just
a
few
hundred
years,
a
modest
peninsula
off
the
northwest
corner
of
Asia
has
seen
the
rise
and
fall
of
several
empires;
served
as
the
crucible
for
scientific
dynamism,
cultural
innovation,
and
economic
revolution;
and
witnessed
cataclysms
and
bloodshed
that
have
almost
destroyed
it
several
times
over.
This
is
Europe:
a
continent
whose
identity
emerged
not
so
much
by
virtue
of
geographic
or
ethnic
continuity,
but
by
a
long
and
storied
struggle
for
power.
Studded
with
infamous
figures--from
Caesar
to
Charlemagne
and
Machiavelli
to
Marx--Simon
Jenkins's
history
of
Europe
travels
briskly
from
the
Roman
Empire,
the
Dark
Ages,
and
the
Reformation
through
the
French
Revolution,
the
World
Wars,
and
the
fall
of
the
USSR.
What
emerges
in
this
thrilling
and
expansive
telling
is
a
continent
as
defined
by
its
continually
clashing
cultural
identities
and
violent
crises
as
it
is
by
its
tireless
drive
for
a
society
based
on
the
consent
of
the
governed--which
holds
true
right
up
to
the
present
day.
