Spanning a period of 2000 years from the Roman conquest of Dacia to
the present day, A Concise History of Romania traces the
development of a unique nation situated on the border between East
and West. In this illuminating new history, Keith Hitchins explores
Romania's struggle to find its place amidst two diverse societies:
one governed by Eastern orthodox tradition, spirituality and
agriculture and the other by Western rationalism, experimentation
and capitalism. The book charts Romania's advancement through five
significant phases of its history: medieval, early modern, modern
and finally the nation's 'return to Europe'; evaluating all the
while Romania's part in European politics, economic and social
change, intellectual and cultural renewals and international
entanglements. This is a fascinating history of an East European
nation; one which sheds new light on the complex evolution of the
Romanians and the identity they have successfully crafted from a
unique synthesis of traditions.
