About the book
A history of Europe like you've never read before."For some time now, Europe seems to have forgotten it is the daughter of epics and utopia. It has been drained by its inability to remind its citizens of this. Too distant, disembodied, the concept often arouses nothing more than disillusioned boredom. And yet, the history of Europe is one of constant upheaval. So much fire and death; inventions and art, too. Literature, perhaps, can remind us of this: that the European history is one of muscle, vigour, passion, anger and joy. Words of literature, perhaps, can restore conviction and momentum, which make everything possible, to the heart of the story."From the industrial revolution through two world wars and to the birth of the European Union,
Our Europe sets in free verse the story of 150 years of growth, confrontation, hope, defeat and passion.
Our Europe is a heartfelt appeal to bring into being a Europe that celebrates difference, solidarity, and freedom.
