Krátky popis
National history is a vital part of national self-definition. Most
books on the history of the world try to impose a uniform
narrative, written usually from a single writer’s point of view.
Histories of Nations is different: it presents 28 essays written by
a leading historian as a ‘self-portrait’ of his or her native
country, defining the characteristics that embody its sense of
nationhood. The countries have been selected to represent every
continent and every type of state, large and small, and together
they make up two-thirds of the world’s population. They range from
mature democracies to religious autocracies and one-party states,
from countries with a venerable history to those who only came into
being in the 20th century. In order to get to grips with the
national and cultural differences that both enliven and endanger
our world, we need above all to understand different national
viewpoints – to read the always engaging and often passionate
accounts given in this remarkable and unusual book. Original and
thoughtprovoking, this is a crucial primer for the modern age.
