Stand in front of the throne of Charlemagne in the Aachen Cathedral and relive the empire that created Europe; shuttle through the lanes of Nuremberg, Bruges and Genoa to feel the urban renaissance and economic buds of the Middle Ages; stroll along the cliffs of Sagres in southern Portugal and imagine the navigator King Enrique Gaze at the sight of the returning sailboat at the end of the horizon; meet Copernicus in Poland, who overturned human cosmology; search for the spirit of parliamentarianism in the corridors of Westminster; see the soul of the French Revolution in the Ballroom of the Palace of Versailles... Stroll around the European continent and learn about its history and past. Today in the 21st century, nationalism is on the rise. Many Europeans no longer consider themselves Europeans, yet the continent's histories are inextricably linked. The Spanish, Poles, Germans and French have experienced the same medieval times, castles, Renaissance, Enlightenment, Revolution, Industrial Revolution, two world wars... This is an undeniable fact, but it has been forgotten by many people. The author hopes that this walk will reawaken the same genes that flow in European blood.
