What is Beneath Another Sky: A Global Journey into History and Memory about?

Where Have The People In Any Particular Place Actually Come From? What Are The Historical Complexities In Any Particular Place? This Evocative Historical Journey Around The World Shows Us. 'human History Is A Tale Not Just Of Constant Change But Equally Of Perpetual Locomotion', Writes Norman Davies. Throughout The Ages, Men And Women Have Endlessly Sought The Greener Side Of The Hill. Their Migrations, Collisions, Conquests And Interactions Have Given Rise To The Spectacular Profusion Of Cultures, Races, Languages And Polities That Now Proliferates On Every Continent. This Incessant Restlessness Inspired Davies's Own. After Decades Of Writing About European History, And Like Tennyson's Ageing Ulysses Longing For One Last Adventure, He Embarked Upon An Extended Journey That Took Him Right Round The World To A Score Of Hitherto Unfamiliar Countries. His Aims Were To Test His Powers Of Observation And To Revel In The Exotic, But Equally To Encounter History In A New Way.^ Beneath Another Sky Is Partly A Historian's Travelogue, Partly A Highly Engaging Exploration Of Events And Personalities That Have Fashioned Today's World - And Entirely Sui Generis.
