The third section includes the articles ?Johan Huizinga and the Spirit of the Nineteen Thirties? and ?The Expansion of Europe and the Development of Science and Technology?. A small cape of Asia was how Paul Valéry described Europe in 1919 ? a pointed summary of the new mood that came over Europe in the interbellum years. Wesseling?s essays hold to the original sense of the word: personal reflections on vast subjects written for an intellectual and interested but not necessarily specialized readership. 606 $aEast and West 607 $aEurope$xHistory 615 0$aEast and West. 676 $a940 700 $aWesseling$b H.
