Produktbeschreibung
A diplomatic and literary journey through history, identity, and memory. > Drawing on his years of diplomatic service and a lifetime of historical reflection, Wilczek brings a fresh perspective to well-known figures like Joseph Conrad, Lord Byron, and Winston Churchill, as well as to lesser-known stories of exile, resistance, and intellectual exchange. He writes with clarity, insight, and a dry sense of humour, offering brief, engaging essays that reveal how two countries have seen - and shaped - each other across centuries. This is not a memoir, nor a textbook, but a thoughtful companion for anyone interested in Europe’s intertwined pasts, and in how history lives on in language, ideas, and memory. Entwined Histories is a book for readers who enjoy diplomacy with depth, history with humanity, and culture with a point of view.
