Description: "Alter Ego presents twenty perspectives on Europe and its other(s), from both inside and outside the EU, from the acceding states and from the new neighbour countries. Writers, poets, scientists, artists, and politicians whose life and work are indistinguishable from Europe and yet often offer the vantage point of an outsider. Twenty individuals who by virtue of their talent, craft or profession are seasoned mediators between various milieus, backgrounds, and languages. Their stories make Europe palpable on the individual level."--BOOK JACKET.
