Epic Continent: Adventures in the Great Stories of Europe, by Nicholas Jubber

5.0

Epic Continent by Nicholas Jubber is a very well written and fascinating journey through Europe on the footsteps of six European epics. But it is so much more than a travelogue - from Greece to Iceland the author weaves a common thread through the epics and the places connected to them. He explores the impact of the epics on both European and national identity, how through the decades politics has used and abused them, and how relevant they still are in today's turbulent political and social climate.
