このコンテンツについて
'Graham Robb has found a new format for writing history just as Craig Brown found a fresh way to write biography' - Alan Johnson
'Robb tumbles into British history with an infectious enthusiasm . . . immensely entertaining’ - Chris Bryant, author of The Glamour Boys
Taking the reader on a time-travelling adventure around the ‘spindly, sea-wracked islands’ we call home, The Discovery of Britain is history that's panoramic and intimate, poignant and shocking, seriously funny, and enlightening in the most surprising way.
In the assured hands of the prize-winning author of The Discovery of France, and often from the unique vantage point of his bicycle, we encounter an entertaining cast of characters foreign and homegrown, drop in on places and events, and dwell on the successes and catastrophes across British history. From ancient settlements swallowed up by the sea and the creation of Stonehenge to the advent of multiculturalism and recent political earthquakes, all is seen as it’s never been seen before.
The Discovery of Britain can be devoured whole or each chapter listened to in the time it takes to change a bicycle tyre or drink a cup of coffee. The wonderful choice of how to enjoy this original and sweeping history of Britain is yours.
