The Bretons are not French the Celts are not English and the Galicians are not Spanish writes Barry Cunliffe These maritime communities have long looked north and south along the coast not inland to claim a common bond Even today the Bretons see themselves as distinct from the French but refer to the Irish Welsh and Galicians as their brothers and cousinsIn Facing the Ocean Barry Cunliffe one of the worlds most highly regarded authorities on prehistoric Europe offers an utterly original way of looking at that continent He argues that the peoples of the Atlantic rimof Iceland Scotland Ireland Brittany Spain Portugal and Gibraltarall share a cultural identity shaped by the Atlantic Ocean an identity which stretches back almost ten thousand years These peoples lived at the edge of the world in places called Lands End Finistere and Finisterra and looked out on a bountiful but terrifying expanse of ocean a roiling merciless infinity beyond which there was nothing Their profound relationship with the ocean set these communities apart from their inland countryman creating a distinct Atlantic culture Cunliffe culls the archaeological evidence to illuminate the bonds that developed and intensified between these isolated communities and helped to maintain a shared and distinctive Atlantic identityAttractively designed and vibrantly written Facing the Ocean offers a striking reassessment of a people who have usually been regarded as peripheral to European history It will send shock waves through the history world and will radically change our view of the European past.
