A bold new history of Europe, from ancient Greece to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

What do we talk about when we talk about Europe? Is it defined by geography? Or is it politics, or shared culture? In Europe, award-winning historian Roderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before—as the history of an idea, and a collective identity.

Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, “Europe” has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe’s major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present. Throughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves.

Grappling with the multilayered identities that have always come with being European, Europe places the Europe of today in a long arc of history stretching back more than 2,500 years.

Reseñas de la crítica

Europe is big history at its best. In this captivating romp across twenty-five centuries, from the Battle of Marathon to Putin’s war on Ukraine, Roderick Beaton offers inspiring and surprising answers to one of the great questions of our age: What is Europe?”—Ian Morris, author of Why the West Rules—for Now
“A magisterial history, written with great panache, that is both enlightening and deeply readable. A true tour de force.”—Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads
