The Strange Death of Europe

Immigration, Identity, Islam

De: Douglas Murray

Narrado por: Robert Davies

The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

This is not just an analysis of demographic and political realities; it is also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes accounts based on travels across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who pretend they want them to the places which cannot accept them.

Murray takes a step back at each stage and looks at the bigger and deeper issues which lie behind a continent's possible demise, from an atmosphere of mass terror attacks to the steady erosion of our freedoms. The audiobook addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation, and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa, and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away.

This sharp and incisive audiobook ends up with two visions for a new Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next. But perhaps Spengler was right: 'civilizations, like humans, are born, briefly flourish, decay, and die'.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is a vitally important book, the contents of which should be known to everyone who can influence the course of events, at this critical time in the history of Europe." (Sir Roger Scruton)

Fantastic Insight Into a Grim Reality

I would highly recommend this book. Even if you are a person who would not normally agree with someone like Douglas Murray it is a must read. The insight this book gives into the fundamentally suicidal nature of modern day Europe is fascinating. The narration is quite good and matches the nature of this book well. I did find the conclusion to be a bit fatalistic or even apathetic, Murray does discuss some solutions/approaches to this crisis but the final chapter could have been more constructive.

The truth about the lies that European politicians have been telling their people for the last 20 years

The truth about the lies that European politicians have been telling their people for the last 20 years. It should be a lesson for other developed nations.

Insightful

I'm a big fan of Douglas Murray's work and he did not disappoint, loved the book and learned lots.

important book

thank you for having the guts to write this book. it's very important people hear this.

Tough to hear, but true.

Lived in Paris from 2010-2016, and I experienced this issue first hand. This book explains the mass immigration issue from many POVs, including the voice of the migrants.
I got the book because I lived the experience, but never understood the origins of the issue. Now I’m able to have an intelligent conversation about the topic.
It’s a very passionate book, and at some points it felt radicalized. The author warns there is no solution, which is hard to hear.
The narrator is AMAZING! One of the best readers I’ve ever heard: the use of slight dialects, the tonal shifts, the speed. Excellent!

This book is awesome!

One of the best and most important books in existence. Thoroughly researched, insightful, and thought provoking. Glad it was also available by audio.

Reality Dispassionately Examined

A well-researched, apolitical, rational examination of the actual effects and second-order consequences of uncontrolled immigration. As he always does on any topic he examines, Douglas Murray nails it.

Everyone should read this

I really feel this is one of the most crucially important books ever written. Murray did an exquisitely great job with Strange death of Europe. It is raw, unbiased, as a matter of fact information on how the West has been disintegrating culturally and societally due to mass migration as well as from other factors. I truly do feel this is one of the greatest books ever written.

The second Western European renaissance

What made the experience of listening to The Strange Death of Europe the most enjoyable?

Western European governments have promoted massive immigration with no consideration of the changes to European culture which are about to take place. My thoughts: European culture and law are about to be replaced by Muslim religion and Sharia law.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Strange Death of Europe?

The conditions in Sweden.

Have you listened to any of Robert Davies’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The entire book...

Any additional comments?

It is frightening.

I'd like to visit Europe before it is gone.

Though I found this story to be profoundly sad, I am very glad to have read it. I am an American, of German and French ancestry. I believe western civilization has brought many of the greatest gifts to humanity in modern times. To hear of Europe, the cradle of that civilization, destroying itself gives me a profound sense of loss. I feel inspired to do what I can, here in the Western Hemisphere to build upon and preserve the legacy I have inherited from my ancestors.
