Krátky popis
A fascinating journey through Europe's old towns, exploring why we
treasure them-but also what they hide about a continent's fraught
history Historic quarters in cities and towns across the middle of
Europe were devastated during the Second World War-some, like those
of Warsaw and Frankfurt, had to be rebuilt almost completely. They
are now centers of peace and civility that attract millions of
tourists, but the stories they tell about places, peoples, and
nations are selective. They are never the whole story.These old
towns and their turbulent histories have been key sites in Europe's
ongoing theater of politics and war. Exploring seven old towns,
from Frankfurt and Prague to Vilnius in Lithuania, the acclaimed
writer Marek Kohn examines how they have been used since the Second
World War to conceal political tensions and reinforce certain
versions of history. Uncovering hidden stories behind these old and
old-seeming facades, Kohn offers us a new understanding of the
politics of European history-making-showing how our visits to old
towns could promote belonging over exclusion, and empathy over
indifference.
