Glass Wall

Autor Max Egremont
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 feb 2023
Max Egremont, author of Some Desperate Glory, tells stories from the "Glass Wall" between Europe and Asia.

Few countries have suffered more from the convulsions and bloodshed of twentieth-century Europe than those in the eastern Baltic region. Caught between the giants of Germany and Russia, on a route across which armies surged or retreated, small nations like Latvia and Estonia were for centuries the subjects of conquests and domination as foreign colonizers claimed control of the territory and its inhabitants, along with their religion, government, and culture.

The Glass Wall features an extraordinary cast of characters-contemporary and historical, foreign and indigenous-who have lived and fought in the Baltic, western Europe's easternmost stronghold. Too often the destiny of this region has seemed to be to serve as the front line in other people's wars. By telling the stories of warriors and victims, of philosophers and barons, of poets and artists, of rebels and emperors, and of others who lived through years of turmoil and violence, Max Egremont sets forth a brilliant account of a long-overlooked region, on a frontier whose limits may still be in doubt.

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Following his acclaimed exploration of the vanished East Prussia, Forgotten Land, Max Egremont turns his attention to the Baltic, another part of the world where the ghosts of history still make their presence felt.

Notă biografică

Max Egremont studied history at Oxford University. As well as four novels, he has written biographies of Arthur Balfour, Major-General Sir Edward Spears and Siegfried Sassoon, and Some Desperate Glory: the First World War the Poets Knew. His Forgotten Land: Journeys among the Ghosts of East Prussia (2011) has been described as `a work of consummate artistry¿ (the Spectator), `a story for our time¿ (the New Statesman), `remarkable, fascinating reading¿ (the Sunday Times), `beautifully written¿ (the Wall Street Journal), and `the very best form of travel writing¿ (the Mail on Sunday).
