Saymon Dzhenkins sozdaet yarkiy portret kontinenta s ego imperskimi ambiciyami, yarostnymi bitvami i ekzistencial'nymi strahami, kotorye, kak schitaet avtor, prisushchi segodnyashney Evrope tak zhe, kak vo vremena YUliya Cezarya i Karla Velikogo, ZHanny d'Ark i Bonaparta, Lenina i CHerchillya. V pervuyu ochered' avtor cenit politicheskuyu istoriyu i nahodyashchuyusya v centre ee vnimaniya neskonchaemuyu bor'bu za vlast'. Ne izmenyaya hronologicheskomu podhodu i perekhodya ot strany k strane, ot odnogo istoricheskogo sobytiya ili personazha k drugomu, Dzhenkins izlagaet istoriyu kontinenta, kotoryy vnes, veroyatno, samyy znachitel'nyy vklad v formirovanie sovremennoy civilizacii. I eto ne prosto konstataciya sovershivshegosya fakta: k poslednim glavam «Kratkoy istorii Evropy» stanovitsya ochevidno, naskol'ko nastoyashchee chelovechestva ukoreneno v ego proshlom.
