Omschrijving
A vivid portrait of Europe as you’ve never seen it before, told through the extraordinary stories of the people who live and breathe it.
Thrilling, first-hand tales that explore the danger and ambitions of life in Europe.
If you wish to know what Europe is becoming without us in its club, you'd do well to read Ben Judah's This Is Europe.
Imagine Ballard and Houellebecq teaming up on a Grand Tour, and you will have some idea of just how vivid, urgent and unsettling this superbly written book is.
Unflinching . . . a powerful piece of reportage.
An extraordinary series of interviews.
Deeply empathetic. Judah is an ace reporter with a novelist's love of character. He conjures people and place in a modern literary form he has made his own. There's no romance to this journey across Europe — but an abundance of story which will make you lurch between fascination, laughter and tears.
Makes you expand the boundaries of your sympathies and your understanding. It’s an astonishing achievement.
A kaleidoscope of bright human experience. Moving, poignant and compelling – I devoured this in a day.
Brilliantly vivid.
Illuminating . . . a bold literary and journalistic experiment. Judah knows how to tell a story and does so with panache.
Ben Judah has the ability to listen and retell, see and describe, feel and convey . . . Judah paints another Europe with intense and dramatic detail – a Europe that you may not recognize, but that you will look for every day having read this book.
An impressive work, like a chorus.
Superb . . . a compelling read.
A hallucinatory tour de force . . . life affirming.
Such an ambitious project it automatically deserves applause . . . reminds us that below every system and conflict there are human beings.
Captivating.
A singular journalistic achievement.
A fabulous book.
'Poignant and powerful . . . reveals a Europe in a time of profound change.
Pick a chapter and you will be dropped in the middle of a fascinating tale . . . absorbing and addictive.
Sprawling, impressionistic, occasionally exhilarating . . . narratives which rest upon the force of raw experience.
A masterpiece emphasising to the reader that the ‘other’ could always be ‘me’.
