Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. From Ancient Greece to the dawn of the 21st century, this text unravels all of the tightly woven social, cultural, economic and political strands of European history. It looks at the creation of huge empires - including the Roman, Spanish and Soviet - and at the once unimaginable prospect of a united federal Europe. The lives and achievements of figures from all aspects of European history - including Socrates, Martin Luther, Da Vinci, Picasso, Peter the Great and Napoleon - are featured, pinpointing their roles in the social, cultural and political events through which they lived.
