Jane Kramer, long celebrated as The New Yorker's European correspondent, presents a series of richly reported portraits — from a German farmer grappling with his country's Nazi past to a French family caught between tradition and modernity — that together compose a sweeping, intimate mosaic of European identity. Written with wit, empathy, and unflinching precision, the narrative illustrates how grand historical forces play out in the textures of everyday life. Kramer argues, through her subjects' stories, that Europe's postwar transformation is not merely a matter of politics or economics, but a deeply personal reckoning with memory, belonging, and change. The result is a masterwork of on-the-ground reporting that remains as resonant and illuminating today as when it was first published.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887886414043,"sku":"2026200007139-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b86e2771-a7f3-4701-bf90-a561f9f1c574.png?v=1781747841","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007139-secondhand-europeans","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
