Riassunto

Human history is a tale not just of constant change, but of perpetual restlessness. In Beneath Another Sky the esteemed historian Norman Davies embarks upon a journey round the world to show the layers of experience that underpin our present - and brilliantly complicate our view of the past.

'If you are someone, or know someone, who is romanced by stamps, or maps, or names, or journeys, or plaques, then I recommend this book to you. I loved it. It deserves a shelf of its own' David Aaronovitch, The Times

'Rich, thought-stirring and deeply engaging' John Gray, New Statesman

'Gripping, enthralling, a great read ... a fragrant stew of history, literature and travel spiced with digression, detective work and dabs of humour' Sarah Wheeler, Observer

Recensione:

If you are someone, or know someone, who is romanced by stamps, or maps, or names, or journeys, or plaques - someone whose head is always popping up from the papers or a Radio 4 documentary with the words "did you know?" then I recommend this book to you. I loved it. It deserves a shelf of its own (David Aaronovitch The Times)

A rich, thought-stirring and deeply engaging blend of travelogue, memoir and historical investigation (John Gray New Statesman)

A performance that resists easy compartmentalisation ... This is clever and informative entertainment. (Joad Raymond BBC History Magazine)
