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 knowleable—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 knowle... 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《欧洲史》是一部从冰河时代延伸到原子时代的历史类精品著作，为欧洲历史设计出一种时间和空间的坐标系统，表现出一种难得一见的整体史印象。本书以时间为主线由快到慢逐渐推进，第1章覆盖了长达百万年的史前时期，而在末尾一章讨论了第二次世界大战至本书出版当年为止的46年间的历史。
诺曼·戴维斯捕获了所有的历史事件：罗马的崛起与衰落，阿拉里克人和阿蒂拉人的大举侵略，诺曼征服，罗马教廷的权力斗争，文艺复兴和改革，法国大革命和拿破仑战争，欧洲崛起为世界权力中心以及它因陷入两次毁灭性的世界大战而走向衰落。这是首部给予欧洲东部和欧洲西部同等分量的欧洲史。
《欧洲史》的独特之处在于对内容的选择、重新安排和表现方式，它把传统的叙述体与独特的特写结合在一起，使鲜活的历史事件和人物跃然纸上：299个讲述各个时代方方面面的“概要介绍”（知识窗）散步于整部书，介绍的傗题跨越了各章的界限，描绘了各种奇特的事物和思想，这些通常是过于严肃的历史学家们忽略的；12幅“快照”从很好的视点俯瞰了某一特定历史时期欧洲的全景，如同对时间推进和领土扩张的迅猛进程叫一声暂停，帮助读者松一口气并审视这些重大历史变革，并如棱镜折射出欧洲历史丰富多样的变化；100幅地图和图表、72幅图片覆盖了整个欧洲的历史。所有这些说明，戴维斯的《欧洲史》是近几年出版的极具价值、有说服力的历史读物之一。
作者在牛津大学完成了本书的大部分内容，参考了牛津大学图书馆丰富而古老的资料，同时也得到了哈佛大学乌克兰语研究所和维也纳人文科学研究所的帮助。
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.
