Definitely going to seek out more of Mak's work. ( ) Samenvatting In 2004 verscheen de tweedelige boekenset In Europa, de neerslag van een reis die Geert Mak maakte door Europa in het laatste jaar van de twintigste eeuw. De geschiedenis van die eeuw was zijn leidraad. Mak reisde naar Londen, Stalingrad en Madrid, langs de bunkers van Berlijn, bekeek de geparfumeerde kleerkasten van Helena Ceauşescu in Boekarest en de speelgoedauto's in een verlaten crèche in Tsjernobyl. Het werd een inventarisatie: hoe lag het continent erbij aan het slot van de eeuw? In Europa was meteen na verschijning een enorm succes: er zijn meer dan 500 000 boeken over de toonbank gegaan en de rechten werden aan veertien landen verkocht. Het boek werd ook in het buitenland alom geprezen.

Journalist Mak spent the year of 1999 criss-crossing the continent, tracing the history of Europe from Verdun to Berlin, Saint Petersburg to Auschwitz, Kiev to Srebrenica. He set off in search of evidence and witnesses, looking to define the condition of Europe at the verge of a new millennium. In the voices of prominent figures and unknown players, Mak combines the larger story of twentieth-century Europe with details that give it a face, a taste and a smell. His unique approach makes the reader an eyewitness to a half-forgotten past, full of unknown peculiarities, sudden insights and touching encounters. This book reads like an epic novel of Europe's most extraordinary century.--From publisher description. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
