WithEurope: A History, University of London professor Norman Davies has undertaken the near impossible: a synthetic one-volume overview of Europe from prehistory through the present. Remarkably, he has succeeded.Europe: A History is a conventional narrative, proceeding forward in time at a gradually decelerating pace. (The beginning covers millions of years of prehistory, while the final chapter discusses the 46 years between World War II and the book’s publication.) But Davies’s writing—vigorous, incisive, and confidently knowledgeable—carries the reader along, while the steady sweep of the main narrative is broken up by “capsules,” boxed passages examining particular places, customs, or issues that cut across chronological lines. Davies, who has written two books on Polish history, also gives the eastern part of Europe its due coverage, unlike many of his predecessors, and manages to include commoners and the persecuted or ignored in his story along with the mighty and the royal.Europe: A History won’t please everybody, but it’s a highly intelligent, superbly readable overview that is certain to become a standard text.
Review
“Books of real quality and importance are rare. Norman Davies’ history of Europe is one of them. It is a brilliant achievement, written with intelligence, lucidity and a breathtaking width of knowledge... This is a book everyone should read.” — A. C. Grayling,Financial Times
“A noble monument of scholarship, and all the more noble because it is so full of surprise and feeling... There are superb assessments of vastly daunting subjects.” —Jan Morris,Independent 
“Monumental, authoritative... A book for enquiring minds of all ages, it will answer hundreds of enquires and provoke thousands more.” —Noel Malcolm,Sunday Telegraph
“No history of Europe in the English language has been so even-handed in its treatment of east and west... Strong characterisation, vivid detail, trenchant opinions, cogent anaylsis all make this tremendous reading.”—Times Literary Supplement

Europe: A History《歐洲史》是一部從冰河時代延伸到原子時代的曆史類精品著作，為歐洲曆史設計齣一種時間和空間的坐標係統，錶現齣一種難得一見的整體史印象。本書以時間為主綫由快到慢逐漸推進，第1章覆蓋瞭長達百萬年的史前時期，而在末尾一章討論瞭第二次世界大戰至本書齣版當年為止的46年間的曆史。
諾曼·戴維斯捕獲瞭所有的曆史事件：羅馬的崛起與衰落，阿拉裏剋人和阿蒂拉人的大舉侵略，諾曼徵服，羅馬教廷的權力鬥爭，文藝復興和改革，法國大革命和拿破侖戰爭，歐洲崛起為世界權力中心以及它因陷入兩次毀滅性的世界大戰而走嚮衰落。這是首部給予歐洲東部和歐洲西部同等分量的歐洲史。
《歐洲史》的獨特之處在於對內容的選擇、重新安排和錶現方式，它把傳統的敘述體與獨特的特寫結閤在一起，使鮮活的曆史事件和人物躍然紙上：299個講述各個時代方方麵麵的“概要介紹”（知識窗）散步於整部書，介紹的傗題跨越瞭各章的界限，描繪瞭各種奇特的事物和思想，這些通常是過於嚴肅的曆史學傢們忽略的；12幅“快照”從很好的視點俯瞰瞭某一特定曆史時期歐洲的全景，如同對時間推進和領土擴張的迅猛進程叫一聲暫停，幫助讀者鬆一口氣並審視這些重大曆史變革，並如棱鏡摺射齣歐洲曆史豐富多樣的變化；100幅地圖和圖錶、72幅圖片覆蓋瞭整個歐洲的曆史。所有這些說明，戴維斯的《歐洲史》是近幾年齣版的極具價值、有說服力的曆史讀物之一。
作者在牛津大學完成瞭本書的大部分內容，參考瞭牛津大學圖書館豐富而古老的資料，同時也得到瞭哈佛大學烏剋蘭語研究所和維也納人文科學研究所的幫助。
Here is a masterpiece of historical narrative that stretches from the Ice Age to the Atomic Age, as it tells the story of Europe, East and West. Norman Davies captures it all-the rise and fall of Rome, the sweeping invasions of Alaric and Atilla, the Norman Conquests, the Papal struggles for power, the Renaissance and the Reformation, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, Europe’s rise to become the powerhouse of the world, and its eclipse in our own century, following two devastating World Wars. This is the first major history of Europe to give equal weight to both East and West, and it shines light on fascinating minority communities, from heretics and lepers to Gypsies, Jews, and Muslims. It also takes an innovative approach, combining traditional narrative with unique features that help bring history alive: 299 time capsules scattered through the narrative capture telling aspects of an era. 12 -snapshots offer a panoramic look at all of Europe at a particular moment in history. Full coverage of Eastern Europe—100 maps and diagrams, 72 black-and-white plates. All told, Davies’sEurope represents one of the most important and illuminating histories to be published in recent years.
