Europe
A History
What's it about
Tired of history that only tells part of the story? Discover the real Europe, a continent shaped not just by its famous Western powers, but by the diverse peoples and forgotten nations that have been written out of the narrative. This is the complete story you've been missing. You'll journey beyond the familiar tales of Rome, Paris, and London to uncover the hidden histories of Eastern and Central Europe. Learn how figures from Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine were just as pivotal as their Western counterparts and gain a truly comprehensive understanding of the continent's complex past.
Meet the author
Norman Davies is a leading British historian and Oxford-educated scholar renowned for his sweeping, multi-language narratives that challenge conventional perspectives on European and Polish history. His work is born from a lifetime of travel and research across the continent, from Portugal to the Urals, giving him a unique ground-level view of the diverse peoples and forgotten stories that shaped Europe. This pan-European approach allows him to weave a richer, more inclusive tapestry of the past, moving beyond the traditional focus on the great powers.
