Beschreibung
The Europeans is Orlando Figes' masterpiece. It describes huge changes through intimate details, little-known stories. Events which we now see as central to European high culture are made completely fresh, allowing the reader to revel in the sheer precariousness with which the great salons, premieres and bestsellers came into existence. A dazzling, richly detailed, panoramic work to document the genesis of a continent-wide European culture.
