Krátky popis
Brimming with life and drama, this is a magnificent journey into
two thousand years of history, from the acclaimed historian of
Europe'Epic and witty' Observer 'Erudite, entertaining' Helena
Attlee 'Charming' Wall Street Journal 'Delightful and
authoritative' Judith Herrin 'Compelling...enjoyable' Financial
Times'All roads lead to Rome.' It's a medieval proverb, but it's
also true: today's European roads still follow the networks of the
ancient empire, stitching together our histories and continuing to
inspire our imaginations. Over the two thousand years since they
were first built, the roads have been walked by crusaders and
pilgrims, liberators and dictators, but also by tourists and
writers, refugees and artists. As channels of trade and travel, and
routes for conquest and creativity, Catherine Fletcher shows how
the roads forever transformed the cultures, and intertwined the
fates, of a vast panoply of people across Europe and
beyond.Reflecting on his own walk on the Appian Way, Charles
Dickens observed that here is ‘a history in every stone that strews
the ground.’ Based on outstanding original research, and brimming
with life and drama, this is the first book to explore two thousand
years of history through one of the greatest imperial networks ever
built.
