HISTORY. "This book treats Europe as a whole. While emphasizing how differently Europe's peoples reacted to events in history, it shows how often such events and reactions were facets of shared phenomena. But the book also asks a number of awkward questions: in particular, whether current attempts to unite and reunite Europe are feasible. The author concludes that there are solid historical reasons for regarding Europe not only as a mosaic of cultures but also as an organic whole. " Translated by Richard Mayne.
