The Penguin History of Europe (Revised)
J. M. Roberts
(Author)
Description
Since its publication twenty years ago, J. M. Roberts's monumental "History of the World" has remained the "unrivaled World History of our day" (A. J. P. Taylor), selling more than a quarter of a million copies worldwide. Now in an equally masterful performance, Roberts displays his consummate skills of exposition in telling the tale of the European continent, from its Neolithic origins and early civilizations of the Aegean to the advent of the twenty-first century. A sweeping and entertaining history, "The Penguin History of Europe" comprehensively traces the development of European identity over the course of thousands of years, ranging across empires and religions, economics, science, and the arts. Roberts's astute and lucid analyses of the disparate spheres of learning that have shaped European civilization and our understanding of it make "The Penguin History of Europe" a remarkable journey through the last two centuries.
