«L'Homme européen» is the historical essay by Jorge Semprún and Dominique de Villepin (Librairie Académique Perrin, paperback, 233 pages, in French).
This essay analyses how, since the sixteenth century, people separated by borders became aware that they shared the same continent and ended up calling themselves Europeans. The work reviews five centuries of dreams, fears and contradictions: impulses that led to war and grandiose projects that sought to unite their peoples.
For readers interested in European history and debates on the continent's identity.
Jorge Semprún Maura was a Spanish writer and politician who lived in France most of his life and wrote primarily in French. From 1953 to 1962, during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, Semprún lived clandestinely in Spain working as an organizer for the exiled Communist Party of Spain, but was expelled from the party in 1964. After the death of Franco and the change to a democratic government, he served as Minister of Culture in Spain's socialist government from 1988 to 1991.
