A history of Europe like you've never read before.
"For some time now, Europe seems to have forgotten it is the daughter of
epics and utopia. It has been drained by its inability to remind its
citizens of this. Too distant, disembodied, the concept often arouses
nothing more than disillusioned boredom. And yet, the history of Europe
is one of constant upheaval. So much fire and death; inventions and art,
too. Literature, perhaps, can remind us of this: that the European
history is one of muscle, vigour, passion, anger and joy. Words of
literature, perhaps, can restore conviction and momentum, which make
everything possible, to the heart of the story."
From the industrial revolution through two world wars and to the birth
of the European Union, Our Europe sets in free verse the story of 150
years of growth, confrontation, hope, defeat and passion. Our Europe
is a heartfelt appeal to bring into being a Europe that celebrates
difference, solidarity, and freedom.
