關於本電子書
The bestselling and controversial new history of the 'British Isles', including Ireland from the author of Europe: A History. Emphasizing our long-standing European connections and positing a possible break-up of the United Kingdom, this is agenda-setting work is destined to become a classic.
'If ever a history book were a tract for the times, it is The Isles: A History ... a masterwork.' Roy Porter, The Times
'Davies is among the few living professional historians who write English with vitality, sparkle, economy and humour. The pages fly by, not only because the pace is well judged but also because the surprises keep coming.' Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Sunday Times
'A book which really will change the way we think about our past . marvellously rich and stimulating' Noel Malcolm, Evening Standard
'A historiographical milestone.' Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times
'The full shocking force of this book can only be appreciated by reading it.' Andrew Marr, Observer
'It is too soon to tell if [Norman Davies] will become the Macaulay or Trevelyan of our day: that depends on the reading public. He has certainly made a good try. This is narrative history on the grand scale - compulsively readable, intellectually challenging and emotionally exhilirating.' David Marquand, Literary Review
