A Times, Financial Times and Telegraph Book of the Year 2023

'Illuminates some of the great trends of our time' - Gideon Rachman, Financial Times
'Vivid, urgent and unsettling' - Tom Holland, author of Dominion
_____

What does it now mean to call yourself European? Who makes up this population of some 750 million, sprawled from Ireland to Ukraine, from Sweden to Turkey? Who has always called it home, and who has newly arrived from elsewhere? Who are the people who drive our long-distance lorries, steward our criss-crossing planes, lovingly craft our legacy wines, fish our depleted waters, and risk life itself in search of safety and a new start?

In a series of vivid but always empathetic portraits of other people’s lives, journalist Ben Judah invites us to meet them. Drawn from hours of painstaking interviews, these vital stories reveal a vibrant continent which has been transformed by diversity, migration, the internet, climate change, Covid, war and the quest for freedom.

Laid dramatically bare, it may not always be a Europe we recognize – but this is Europe.

批評家のレビュー

<b>Thrilling</b>, first-hand tales that <b>explore the danger and ambitions of life</b> in Europe.
If you wish to know what Europe is becoming without us in its club, <b>you'd do well to read Ben Judah's <i>This Is Europe</i>.</b>
Imagine Ballard and Houellebecq teaming up on a Grand Tour, and you will have some idea of just how <b>vivid, urgent and unsettling</b> this superbly written book is.
<b>Unflinching</b> . . . a powerful piece of reportage.
An <b>extraordinary</b> series of interviews. (Rory Stewart)
Deeply empathetic. Judah is an ace reporter with a novelist's love of character. He conjures people and place in a modern literary form he has made his own. There's no romance to this journey across Europe &mdash; but <b>an abundance of story which will make you lurch between fascination, laughter and tears</b>. (Sophy Roberts, author of The Lost Pianos of Siberia)
Makes you expand the boundaries of your sympathies and your understanding. It&rsquo;s <b>an astonishing achievement</b>.
A kaleidoscope of bright human experience. <b>Moving, poignant and compelling</b> &ndash; I devoured this in a day. (Jenny Kleeman, author of Sex Robots & Vegan Meat)
<b>Brilliantly vivid.</b>
Illuminating . . . <b>a bold literary and journalistic experiment</b>. Judah knows how to tell a story and does so with panache.
<b>Ben Judah has the ability to listen and retell, see and describe, feel and convey</b> . . . Judah paints another Europe with intense and dramatic detail &ndash; a Europe that you may not recognize, but that you will look for every day having read this book. (Andrey Kurkov, author of Death and the Penguin)
An <b>impressive</b> work, like a chorus.
<b>Superb . . . a compelling read.</b>
<b>A hallucinatory tour de force . . . life affirming.</b>
Such <b>an ambitious project </b>it automatically deserves applause . . . reminds us that below every system and conflict there are human beings.
<b>Captivating.</b>
<b>A singular journalistic achievement.</b>
<b>A fabulous book.</b> (Quentin Lafay)
'<b>Poignant and powerful </b>. . . reveals a Europe in a time of profound change.
Pick a chapter and you will be dropped in the middle of a fascinating tale . . . <b>absorbing and addictive</b>.
<b>Sprawling, impressionistic, occasionally exhilarating</b> . . . narratives which rest upon the force of raw experience.
<b>A masterpiece </b>emphasising to the reader that the &lsquo;other&rsquo; could always be &lsquo;me&rsquo;. (Paschal Donohoe)
