And then faltered.Timothy Garton Ash, our greatest writer about Europe, has spent a lifetime studying Europe and this deeply felt book is full of vivid experiences: from his father's memories of D-Day and his own surveillance at the hands of the Stasi to interviewing Albanian guerrillas in the mountains of Kosovo and angry teenagers in the poorest quarters of Paris, as well as advising prime ministers, chancellors and presidents.Homelands is at once a living, breathing history of a period of unprecedented progress, a clear-eyed account of how so much then went wrong and an urgent call to the citizens of this great old continent to understand and defend what we have collectively achieved.'The right book for Europe, at the right time' Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny'Tremendously enjoyable ... thoughtful, honest, open, self-deprecating' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times'Readers could hardly wish for a wiser guide ... defiantly hopeful' Financial Times

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Timothy Garton Ash

Timothy Garton Ash tinha 17 anos quando o Reino Unido aderiu à Comunidade Económica Europeia e 64 quando o país deixou a União Europeia. Nos anos intermédios viveu intensamente a política europeia, testemunhando algumas das cenas mais marcantes da sua história, entrevistando muitos dos seus protagonistas e analisando o modo como se transformou a vida dos europeus comuns de todo o continente. Professor de Estudos Europeus da Universidade de Oxford, Senior Fellow da Hoover Institution da Universidade de Stanford e colunista do Guardian, é também autor de dez livros de escrita política ou «história do presente», entre os quais The Magic Lantern: The Revolution of ’89 Witnessed in Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin, & Prague; The File: A Personal History (um relato autobiográfico empolgante da investigação do conteúdo do seu ficheiro na Stasi após a queda da RDA); In Europe’s Name; Facts are Subversive e Liberdade de Expressão – Dez Princípios para um Mundo Interligado, publicado pela Temas e Debates em 2017. Entre os numerosos prémios e distinções que recebeu, destacam-se o Somerset Maugham Award, o Prix Européen de l'Essai, o George Orwell Prize e o International Charlemagne Prize da cidade de Aachen.
