Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Three of Europes greatest rivers begin in the same geological cradle: one fertile patch of high Alpine ice in the jagged heights of central Switzerland. The consequences of this small fact can hardly be overstated: taken together, the Rhine, the Rhone and the Po do not simply symbolise three… different cultures of Europe French, German and Italian they were the dynamo that gave them life. Between them these extraordinary waterways have not only shaped the landscape, carving out the valleys in which early humans settled, they influenced the structure of Europes societies the pattern of its towns and cities, roads and railways. They laid the foundation for its economies, creating an intricate network of agriculture and trade. And they enriched its cultural diversity: language, religion, philosophy, science, politics and art from the Romanesque buttresses and vines of Provence and the Wagnerian music of the Rhine to the spiritual and artistic miracles of Lombardy. The heart of Western European civilisation has been nourished by these waters. But while their importance is by no means diminished today, their source is. The glaciers that have filled Europes Alpine water tank for so long are vanishing fast. This is a catastrophic change, and the implication is clear: we can no longer take Europes great triumvirate of rivers for granted. Three Rivers explores the dramatic mountain landscape where this story begins, telling the story of the glaciers themselves while also meditating on the enormous cultural consequences that have (quite literally) flowed from their cold and fragile presence and how momentous would be their loss. A fascinating exploration of the rich and varied cultural worlds shaped by the Rhine, the Rhone and the Po. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: New. '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.FINANCIAL TIMES - BEST BOOKS OF 2025'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.'

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.'
