Microcosm Portrait of a Central European City

The story of Central Europe is anything but simple: as a result of invasions and resettlements, the people of Central Europe have witnessed a profusion of languages, cultures, religions and nationalities. The two most important waves of settlement came from the Germans and Slavs, but Central Europe also became the great haven for Jews. In its recent history, Central Europe has been subjected to 50 years of Fascism and Communism in succession. In order to present a portrait of Central Europe, from AD 1000 to the present, Normal Davies and Roger Moorhouse study the history of one of its most colourful cities, the former German Breslau, which became the Polish Wroclaw after the Second World War. The book contains detail maps, fascinating illustrations and a place-name directory at the back. With fantastic reviews from Sunday Times, and Economist, this book will provide a factual history story of the Central European City.
