Adriatic : a concert of civilizations at the end of the modern age / Robert D. Kaplan. by Kaplan, Robert D., 1952- Random House, 2022. Call #: 909.098224 K17a Subjects Kaplan, Robert D., 1952- -- Travel -- Adriatic Sea.   Adriatic Sea -- Description and travel.   Adriatic Sea.   Adriatic Sea -- In literature. ISBN:  9780399591044 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Concert of civilizations at the end of the modern age Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xix, 340 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "In this [book, the author] turns his perceptive eye to the Adriatic Sea, a region that has always been a crossroads in trade, culture, and ideas. [He] undertakes a journey through Italy and the Balkan countries lining the Adriatic to reveal much more to the region than news stories about resurgent populism or the refugee crisis let on. As he travels, the stark truth emerges that the age of populism is merely an epiphenomenon--a swan song for the age of nationalism itself--and that the future of Europe lies in a different direction entirely as he observes a breaking down of the distinctions between east and west, a return to alignments of an earlier era. Traveling the coastline from Italy to Slovenia and Croatia, to Montenegro to Albania and to Greece, he engages perceptive cultural criticism and an urgent study of Europe as a whole, seen through the lens of these countries. He finds clues to what the future may hold in history as he reflects on contemporary issues like the refugee crisis, the return of populist nationalism, battles over the control of fossil fuel resources, and how the Adriatic will once again be a global trading hub as it is set to be connected to China's Belt and Road initiative. With a cross-pollination of history, literature, art, architecture, and current events along with a map and photographs throughout, [the author] demonstrates how Europe is distilled within the geography of the Adriatic, an often-overlooked region rich with answers and insights about the fate of the continent."
