From Norman Davies, the acclaimed author of Europe: A History,
comes the magical history of Europe's lost realms, selected as a
Book of the Year by the Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, New
Statesman, Independent, Guardian and Financial Times. Europe's
history is littered with kingdoms, duchies, empires and republics
which have now disappeared but which were once fixtures on the map
of their age. What happened to the once-great Mediterranean 'Empire
of Aragon'? Where did the half-forgotten kingdoms of Burgundy go?
Which current nations will one day become a distant memory too?
This original and enthralling book peers through the cracks of
history to discover the stories of lost realms across the
centuries. 'Dazzling, provocative and brilliant' Dominic Sandbrook,
Sunday Times, Books of the Year 'A luminous account ... there are
few better ways of understanding the multilayered splendours and
horrors of Europe's past than through the pages of this wise,
humane and unfailingly engaging book' John Adamson, Sunday
Telegraph 'Vanished Kingdoms is great history and also great art.
It is written with verve, passion and profound empathy' David
Marquand, New Statesman, Books of the Year 'A magnificent
achievement. Brocaded with scholarship, the book is unlikely ever
to be equalled' Ian Thomson, Independent
