in bookshops from July 9thBack cover text:
"An in-depth presentation of Europe requires seeking out dramatic representations, founding moments, memorable places, characters from history and legend and practical creators.
The approach taken was to entrust these themes to great voices of our time, producing a body of texts and images of a Europe which is engraved on the depths of our memories and at the forefront of our desires.
In order of appearance: Edgar Morin, Jacques Le Goff, Jorge Semprun, Michel Foucher, Dominique Borne and Pierre Monnet, Pierre Nora, Michel Deguy, Tzvetan Todorov, Elisabeth Lemirre and Sarah Moon were invited to take the stand to ponder the nature of this melting pot, its identity and destiny.
Frédéric Martel, Thierry Fabre, Yves Saint-Geours, Jean-Luc Domenach explored the prospects for Europe and its place in the world.
Meanwhile Peter Brook, Olivier Py, Josef Nadj, Pierre Soulages, Dominique Perrault and Wim Wenders explored in their own way the heritage and artistic creation of a Europe which is both endowed with a rich history and still on a quest for great creative flashes."
Book edited by Renée Herbouze, co-edited by Actes Sud and Culturesfrance.
