by Godfrey Hodgson (Author)
This book includes ten sketches of European cities, each of which has contributed something to the ferment, the still dangerous brew of European civilization. Each will have something, even if only a distinct and rich way of life of its own, to contribute in the future. Each essay reflects what moves and intrigues the author about the history, literature, politics, past and future of the city and the flavour of its way of life. Together they are intended to paint an original portrait of the old/new Europe.
