Norman Davies' seminal biography of a whole continent; 'it brims with learning, crackles with common sense, coruscates with wit and abounds in good judgement' - Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Sunday Times
Norman Davies C. M. G., F. B. A. is Professor Emeritus of the University of London, a Supernumerary Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford, and the author of several books on Polish and European history, including God's Playground, White Eagle, Red Star, The Isles, Microcosm and Europe- East and West.
Any European or world citizen should read this… History that
illuminates the present day
*Big Issue*
Books of real quality and importance are rare. Norman Davies's
history of Europe is one of them. It is a brilliant achievement,
written with intelligence, lucidity and a breathtaking width of
knowledge... This is a book everyone should read
*Financial Times*
A noble monument of scholarship, and all the more noble because it
is so full of surprise and feeling... There are superb assessments
of vastly daunting subjects
*Independent*
Monumental, authoritative... A book for enquiring minds of all
ages, it will answer hundreds of enquires and provoke thousands
more
*Sunday Telegraph*
No history of Europe in the English language has been so
even-handed in its treatment of east and west... Strong
characterisation, vivid detail, trenchant opinions, cogent anaylsis
all make this tremendous reading
*Times Literary Supplement*
