EUROPE - NORMAN DAVIES KARTONIERT (TB)

Here is a masterpiece of historical narrative that stretches from the Ice Age to the Atomic Age
as it tells the story of Europe  East and West. Norman Davies captures it all-the rise and fall
of Rome  the sweeping invasions of Alaric and Atilla  the Norman Conquests  the Papal struggles
for power  the Renaissance and the Reformation  the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars 
Europe's rise to become the powerhouse of the world  and its eclipse in our own century 
following two devastating World Wars. This is the first major history of Europe to give equal
weight to both East and West  and it shines light on fascinating minority communities  from
heretics and lepers to Gypsies  Jews  and Muslims. It also takes an innovative approach 
combining traditional narrative with unique features that help bring history alive: 299 time
capsules scattered through the narrative capture telling aspects of an era. 12 -snapshots offer
a panoramic look at all of Europe at a particular moment in history. Full coverage of Eastern
Europe-100 maps and diagrams  72 black-and-white plates.All told  Davies''s Europe represents
one of the most important and illuminating histories to be published in recent years.
