Description
What is Europe? What is your legacy? And your future? In this ambitious essay José Enrique Ruiz-Domènec reflects on the idea of Europe throughout history, on the pillars that support it: christian roots, the culture, geography, the scientific spirit, the separation of the secular and the religious, forms of government and myths. Of the myths - of Europa kidnapped by Zeus- the name arises, and the idea of this common space is forged over the centuries, through coexistence and conflict between peoples, of wars and peace treaties, of the culture that draws its bridges, of political conflicts and the wills of the people and their rulers… An exciting book about an idea, that of Europe, which is still an unfinished story, that continues to be built, but as the author says: “there is no point moving forward, without knowing what is left behind”.
