Jankowski, T: Eastern Europe!
Lieferzeit: Nicht lieferbar I
Beschreibung:
When the legendary Romulus killed his brother Remus and founded the city of Rome in 753 BCE, Plovdiv-today the second-largest city in Bulgaria-was thousands of years old. Indeed, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam are all are mere infants compared to Plovdiv. This is just one of the paradoxes that haunts and defines the New Europe, that part of Europe that was freed from Soviet bondage in 1989, and which is at once both much older than the modern Atlantic-facing power centers of Western Europe while also being much younger than them. Eastern Europe! is a brief and concise (but informative) introduction to Eastern Europe and its myriad customs and history.
