Sobre este título
Graham Robb takes listeners on a time-traveling adventure around the “spindly, sea-wracked island” he calls home.
Interweaving personal and historical narratives and making use of contemporary sources, Graham Robb’s lively exploration of Britain through the ages peels back the layers of the island nation and shows how it came to be. We follow Robb as he rambles along the warpaths of long-forgotten kings, under the chalk ramparts and grassy folds of ancient hill-towns, down the ghost trails of Roman and Saxon streets. Armed with poignant observations and an infectious love for his subject, Robb recounts the epic stories of wars and conquests, of feuding kings and rebellious peasants, of innovations and upheavals, from the creation of Stonehenge to the dawn of the railway, and the advent of multiculturalism and the recent political earthquakes―distilling a social, political, and geographical history of Britain that is at once panoramic and intimate, poignant, and entertaining.
