The Spirit of Europe is an incredible and substantial journey through time and the history of Europe from its foundations alongside a chronology. Analyzing with a personal and original perspective, the author proposes new interpretations of events and phenomena, for a 'rewriting of history from less radical positions', deconstructs and reconstructs the cornerstones that founded not only modern thought, but also the various internal vicissitudes of the countries that interacted geographically and politically. In his work he attempts a history of Europe based on ideas and beliefs that influenced historical personalities or drove the masses to 'fight'. Through images and maps that he personally created, even non-experts and non-historians, the readers will reopen the drawers of their memory, mulling over unresolved issues and giving explanations on modern conflicts that have very distant and complex roots.
