Sir Roy Strong Libri
Roy Strong è uno storico dell'arte e scrittore inglese il cui lavoro approfondisce la cultura visiva e il suo riflesso nell'arte e nella società. I suoi saggi e le sue analisi penetrano nelle prospettive storiche, offrendo uno sguardo avvincente sull'evoluzione degli stili artistici e delle tendenze sociali. Strong esamina spesso come le espressioni visive abbiano plasmato e rispecchiato i valori e le credenze del loro tempo. Il suo contributo letterario risiede nel collegare l'erudizione storica con la narrazione avvincente.

Every student of English history will enjoy this story, which is delightfully easy to read and remarkable for its insights into the deepest consequences of individual actions.

He begins the story of Britain from the very earliest recorded Celtic times, and with this new edition has now brought it up to date via the Blair years and into the present day of Brexit Britain. A magnificently eloquent volume, the narrative chronicles two thousand years of Britain's history, the triumph of its people, the glory of its culture, and its dramatic influence on other nations of the world, especially the United States. It is a remarkable achievement and, with his passion, enthusiasm and wide-ranging knowledge, Strong is the ideal narrator. The book is ideally suited for everyone who cares about Britain's past.
