Krátky popis
A Sunday Times History Book of the Year 2019Shortlisted for The
Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award'No Briton has written
better than Winder about Europe' - Sunday TimesIn AD 843, the three
surviving grandsons of the great Emperor Charlemagne met at Verdun.
After years of bitter squabbles over who would inherit the family
land, they finally decided to divide the territory and go their
separate ways. In a moment of staggering significance, one grandson
inherited what became France, another Germany and the third
Lotharingia: the chunk that initially divided the other two.The
dynamic between these three great zones has dictated much of our
subsequent fate. In this beguiling, hilarious and compelling book
we retrace how both from west and from east any number of ambitious
characters have tried and failed to grapple with these
Lotharingians, who ultimately became Dutch, German, Belgian,
French, Luxembourgers and Swiss. Over many centuries, not only has
Lotharingia brought forth many of Europe's greatest artists,
inventors and thinkers, but it has also reduced many a would-be
conqueror to helpless tears of rage and frustration.Joining
Germania and Danubia in Simon Winder's endlessly fascinating
retelling of European history, Lotharingia is a personal, wonderful
and gripping story.
