2024 || Paperback || Quinn Josephine Quinn || Veltman Distributie Import Books
What does history look like without 'civilisations'? Josephine Quinn calls for a major reassessment of the West and the concepts that define it.
The West, history tells us, was built on the ideas and values of Ancient Greece and Rome, which disappeared from Europe during the Dark Ages and were then rediscovered by the Renaissance.
