{"product_id":"9780241624500","title":"Europe","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before - as the history of an idea, and a collective identity. Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, 'Europe' has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe's major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the 19th and 20th centuries; and the uncertainties of the present. Throughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves. Grappling with the multi-layered identities that have always come with being European, Europe places the Europe of today in a long arc of history stretching back more than 2500 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roderick Beaton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56745683255674,"sku":"9780241624500","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9780241624500_f04d1d42-55f5-47e1-aadd-6595637c048a.jpg?v=1779903624","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.live\/products\/9780241624500","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
