Il più originale dei libri del centenario della prima guerra mondiale; è un racconto di viaggio di rara risonanza e intuizione'' Sunday Times In una mattina d'estate del 1914, un assassino adolescente sparò il colpo di partenza per la storia moderna. Fu un giovane adolescente di nome Gavrilo Princip a sparare quel colpo fatale che uccise l'arciduca Francesco Ferdinando a Sarajevo e che alla fine diede inizio alla seconda guerra mondiale. Cento anni dopo, Tim Butcher intraprende uno straordinario viaggio per scoprire la storia di questo ragazzo sconosciuto che cambiò per sempre il nostro mondo. Ripercorrendo il viaggio di Princip dal suo luogo di nascita in montagna, attraverso le mitiche valli della Bosnia fino alla città fortezza di Belgrado e infine a Sarajevo, illumina la nostra comprensione sia di Princip che dei luoghi che lo hanno plasmato, scoprendo dettagli su Princip che sono sfuggiti agli storici per più di un secolo. ''Un capolavoro di empatia storica ed evocazione. Questo libro è un tour de force'' Guardian.
