{"product_id":"53694-house-of-europe","title":"House of Europe","description":"\u003cp\u003eTo celebrate Germany\u0026rsquo;s turn in the presidency of the EU Council, the German National Library is publishing this wonderful series of pictures, representing a visual \u0026ldquo;catch\u0026rdquo; culled from the more than thirty-four million media sources maintained in their storehouses in Leipzig and Frankfurt am Main. Through the theme \u0026ldquo;Europe in Germany,\u0026rdquo; this volume pursues the many marks that Europe has left on the national cultural memory. Here, Europe is regarded not just as a geographic space or an economic policy group, but above all, as an idea and a vision of a society that holds common values. Now, more than ever, Europe can be seen in the context of today\u0026rsquo;s social discourse as a cultural, political mission entirely in keeping with the etymological roots of the word \u0026ldquo;Europe\u0026rdquo; in the phrase \u0026ldquo;far-sighted.\u0026rdquo; Starting with the geographical center of Europe, this illustrated volume invites readers to take a journey through brief essays that bring surprising opinions on Europe to the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSTEPHANIE JACOBS (*1963), who has a PhD in art history, has been head of the Deutsche Buch- und Schriftenmuseum der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek (The German National Library\u0026rsquo;s museum of books and other writings) in Leipzig since 2007.
