About the book: 2007 / England is one of those countries whose history has had a fundamental impact on the history of all mankind. This book, written in lively and expressive language, is a complete history of England in one volume, from the Stone Age to the present day. From the campaigns of the Romans to the raids of the Saxons, from the Norman conquest to the glorious Elizabethan age, from revolution and civil war to the empire on which the sun never sets, from the tragic consequences of the world wars to the modern world - the history of England, as an independent state and as part of Great Britain , unfolds in a broad and colorful perspective. Despite the abundance of cities and familiar industrial landscapes, England is still a beautiful country - from the rocky coast of Cornwall to Suffolk with its carefully preserved sheep villages, from the limestone hills of Sussex to the border villages of the north. On the pages of this detailed and informative book, the traveler will discover the history of the emergence and development of England and its people, learn about the main articles of centuries-old English exports, the English language and English culture, the English concept of democracy and English standards of public and personal morality, English sports and much more. .Christopher Daniel, in his detailed, well-structured book, takes us from ancient times through the entire intricate history of the English people. Kipling once said: “Saxons, Normans, Danes—we are all of them.” Today, “Jews, people of Afro-Caribbean and South Asian descent” must be added to the above list, and after 1992, “French, Germans, Italians, Turks, Russians and many, many others.” The truth is that, despite their traditional insularity, their unwavering commitment to the proverbial "English" sense of humor and the desire for "fair play", the English as a nation were shaped by a long history of migration, expansion and foreign invasion.
