A monumental history of people, power and ideas
From the Ice Age to the Cold War, from Reykjavik to the Volga, from Minos to Margaret Thatcher, Norman Davies tells the entire story of Europe in a single volume. Moving seamlessly across centuries and borders, he explores politics, war, religion, culture and science to show how diversity, cooperation and conflict have forged a shared identity.
A triumph of storytelling and scholarship, Europe challenges myths of East versus West and highlights the common threads of art, intellect and endurance that unite its nations. Richly detailed yet beautifully readable, this is the most ambitious history of the continent ever undertaken.
'Monumental, authoritative... a book for enquiring minds of all ages' Sunday Telegraph
'A brilliant achievement ... a book everyone should read' A. C. Grayling, Financial Times
