O istorie a lumii în 47 de graniţe

Jonn Elledge uses 47 borders to tell world history. He shows how old divides still shape life today. Some go back to the Romans and the Mongols. Their effects can last for thousands of years. They can shape the lives of many age groups in turn.

This history book looks past state borders and rules. It traces divides in cities and districts. These lines also cross deserts and glaciers, or fields of ice. It looks at claims to parts of outer space, too. Why do people split space into rival claims? The book asks this and looks at the harm such choices can cause.

Elledge writes with a clear style and a playful tone. For this edition, Petru Iamandi turned the English text into a new language.
