Krátky popis
'Fascinating and hugely entertaining' MARINA HYDE'By turns
surprising, funny, bleak, ridiculous, or all four of those at once'
GIDEON DEFOEPeople have been drawing lines on maps for as long as
there have been maps to draw on. Sometimes rooted in physical
geography, sometimes entirely arbitrary, these lines might often
have looked very different if a war or treaty or the decisions of a
handful of tired Europeans had gone a different way. By telling the
stories of these borders, we can learn a lot about how political
identities are shaped, why the world looks the way it does - and
about human folly.From the Roman attempts to define the boundaries
of civilisation, to the secret British-French agreement to carve up
the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, to the reason why
landlocked Bolivia still maintains a navy, this is a fascinating,
witty and surprising look at the history of the world told through
its borders.
