Descripción del artículo del vendedor

*FINANCIAL TIMES - BEST BOOKS OF 2025'An enjoyable grand tour of western European history . full of flavour and sparkle.' The Sunday Times 'The book's elegant premise is that the Rhine, the Rhône and the Po gave rise to the three great national cultures - and in doing so helped unify Europe' Financial TimesA fascinating exploration of the rich and varied cultural worlds shaped by the Rhine, the Rhone and the PoThree of Europe's greatest rivers share the same geological cradle: one fertile patch of Alpine ice in the jagged heights of central Switzerland. Coursing down through the peaks, the Rhine, the Rhone and the Po gave birth to three different European cultures - German, French and Italian - as they flowed across the continent.From this shared geological cradle, these waterways have shaped the landscape, influenced the pattern of towns and cities, laid the foundation for economies and created an intricate network of transport, trade and agriculture. From the Romanesque buttresses and vines of Provence to the Wagnerian music of the Rhine and the artistic miracles of Lombardy, the heart of Western Europe - its languages, religion, philosophy, science, politics and art - has been nourished by these waters.Setting off in the dramatic mountain landscape where this story begins, acclaimed historian Robert Winder traces the rivers' journeys from their increasingly fragile glacial sources, revealing in shimmering detail their impact on Europe's rich history as they flow towards the sea.'Revelatory and inspirational, a passionate love-letter to Western Europe's great trinity of waterways.' James Hawes, author of The Shortest History of Germany'Enthralling . . . gives intriguing insight into the ebb and flow of Western Europe's culture, history and geography.' Jasper Winn, author of Water Ways'In this love letter to the Continent, Robert Winder takes a meandering and always entertaining journey down Western Europe's three great rivers. His affection for his subject shines through on every page . . . and his daring digressive style gives him latitude for quirky erudition and the chance to deliver unexpected delights.' Stephen O'Shea, author of The Alps'Insightful, elegant, and deeply researched to the very last drop, this book will change the way you see rivers - and the continent they have shaped - forever.' Matt Gaw, author of In All Weathers'Three Rivers is wonderful excursion into history, travel and stories about some of the most fascinating rivers of Europe - do yourself a favour and take a holiday with this book.' Robert Twigger, author of Red Nile.
