This family could not have imagined that a continent would one day become their home. Why Europe? is the memoir of a family who found in Germany - and in Europe - a place where freedom, dignity, and human solidarity are not abstract ideas, but the everyday fabric of civic life. Spanning five decades, this book traces a personal journey that mirrors the promise of Europe itself: a family building a new life in Flensburg; a medical career shaped by the Charité in Berlin and by clinical practice at Germany's northern edge; the values of Rotary and civic engagement; and above all, an encounter with a European culture that treats democracy, fraternity, and justice as an inheritance to be defended and passed on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than a story of arrival, Why Europe? is a quiet argument for the European project in a time when the loudest voices often celebrate only power. From Kafka to Saramago, from Shakespeare to Goethe, from the streets of Flensburg to the bourlevards of Paris, it offers a portrait of a continent worth choosing - and worth writing about, in English, for readers everywhere. A book about courage, optimism, collaboration, family, and what a European life can teach the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by Dr. Fabian Geyer, Mayor of Flensburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Arbex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3982944201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783982944203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arbex Editions Europe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Alberto Arbex","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50847883067647,"sku":"9783982944203","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f61869aa-c8ef-4316-8f6d-343923aa0fd5.jpg?v=1793283543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-europe-alberto-arbex-9783982944203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
