Beneath another sky - Norman Davies

Human history is a tale not just of constant change, but of perpetual restlessness. In Beneath Another Sky
the esteemed historian Norman Davies embarks upon a journey round the
world to show the layers of experience that underpin our present - and
brilliantly complicate our view of the past.

'If you are
someone, or know someone, who is romanced by stamps, or maps, or names,
or journeys, or plaques, then I recommend this book to you. I loved it.
It deserves a shelf of its own' David Aaronovitch, The Times

'Rich, thought-stirring and deeply engaging' John Gray, New Statesman

'Gripping,
enthralling, a great read ... a fragrant stew of history, literature
and travel spiced with digression, detective work and dabs of humour'
Sarah Wheeler, Observer
