History of Europe

The book presented to the reader is dedicated to the history of Europe from ancient times to the present day. The authorial team, which includes several skilled French historians, aimed to show how modern Europe was born through a long and difficult process: from the cradle of antiquity, enduring wars, political conflicts, economic crises, cultural peaks, the European civilization emerged. The authors thoroughly examine all stages of European history: the megalithic era, Celtic, Greek, Roman, Germanic, and Slavic expansions, the birth of Romanesque, then Gothic art, the Renaissance, the period of revolutions and colonial dominance, and world wars. The book features brief but insightful portraits of key figures in the evolution spanning centuries, from Pericles, Charlemagne to Churchill and Stalin. According to reviews from major European journals, this work has unanimously been recognized as a "monumental synthesis," unparalleled in scope and content.
