In this work, the renowned journalist, writer, and historian Jan Morris offers an affectionate, subtle, and insightful portrait of the European character. Taking Trieste as a starting point and personal epitome of Europeanness, the author embarks on a journey through the sacred complexities of the continent, navigating its ethnic and geographical confusion from the Roman Empire to the European Union. With the sensitivity of an expert travel writer and the instincts of a journalist, Morris weaves a narrative that tunes into the color and peculiarities of the various European nationalities. It is an essential work for understanding the continent, its history, and the constant reluctance to union that seems to define it, all narrated with a mastery that invites discovery and reflection.
