Περιγραφή για A History of Britain - Volume 1: At the Edge of the World? 3000 BC-AD 1603 Simon Schama, CBE The Bodley Head Ltd

Change - sometimes gentle and subtle, sometimes shocking and violent - is the dynamic of Simon Schama\'s unapologetically personal and grippingly written history of Britain, especially the changes that wash over custom and habit, transforming our loyalties. What makes or breaks a nation? To whom do we give our allegiance and why? And where do the boundaries of our community lie - in our hearth and home, our village or city, tribe or faith? What is Britain - one country or many? Has British history unfolded \'at the edge of the world\' or right at the heart of it?Schama delivers these themes in a form that is at once traditional and excitingly fresh. The great and the wicked are here - Becket and Thomas Cromwell, Robert the Bruce and Anne Boleyn - but so are countless more ordinary lives: an Irish monk waiting for the plague to kill him in his cell at Kilkenny; a small boy running through the streets of London to catch a glimpse of Elizabeth I. The first in a series, this volume paints a rich and vivid portrait of the life of the British people and their nation. Σελίδες: 352, Διαστάσεις: 15.3x15.3cm
