A Brief History of Europe
9.99 €
This book by renowned historian John Hirst, translated into 12 languages, is a must-read for both those just beginning their exploration of European history and those already well-versed in the subject. Read it in a day and remember it for a lifetime! Young Europe once lagged behind many ancient and powerful civilizations in its development. From this simply and wittily written book, you'll learn how Europe evolved from small city-states and villages lost in the forests to a community of countries influencing the rest of the world. How, with the help of gunpowder, invented by the Chinese, and gold captured from the Aztecs, was Europe able to dictate its will to China and America? How did the rationalism of classical culture, the mysticism of the Hebrew prophets, and the ferocity of Germanic warriors come together? Concise but not overly simplistic, with a user-friendly structure and vivid essays on famous figures, unique ideas, and significant events, this book will help you better understand the world you live in. The book is equipped with maps, visual timelines, and engaging diagrams illustrating the author's original ideas.
