  • Europe: A History

    Norman Davies

    Paperback (Harper Perennial, Feb. 1, 1998)
    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.

  • Europe: A History

    Norman Davies

    Paperback (Oxford University Press, USA, March 15, 1996)
    The best description for the historical work is found in its reviews: Davies reveals a comprehensive design, tremendous narrative power, a remarkable gift for compression, and a shrewd sense of overall balance.New York Review of Books "The book's true originality lies in its all-inclusive scope and erudition, and the literary panache with which the story of Europe is told."TimeThe tremendous range of [Europe's] story is matched by its liberal attention to details tragic and comic, mundane and sublime. There are superb assessments of vastly daunting subjects, like the Thirty Years War or the Renaissance. There are steady assessments of the state of contemporary Europe...It is not just a history of the States and Powers, nor simply of the policy-makings or the common man. It takes into account all the in-betweens, the minority peoples, the nations without statehood.Independent If there is any interest at all in the History and development of Europe, this is the only book you will ever need to read.
