"Europe—whither bound? (Quo vadis Europa?)" by Stephen Graham is a collection of travel letters written in the early 20th century, specifically in the year following World War I. This work aims to provide a reflective overview of Europe’s post-war condition as the author journeys through various capitals, seeking to capture a snapshot of the continent's state and its path forward. The book discusses themes such as societal change, national identity, and the lingering effects of conflict, focusing on the collective European experience during a time of uncertainty. The opening of this travelogue introduces the author in Athens, where he contemplates the decline of Europe and laments its loss of ideals, juxtaposing the ancient city's historic significance with its modern realities. He paints a vivid picture of contemporary Athens, observing the indolent yet elegant lifestyle of its people and critiquing the pervasive anti-Greek sentiment among neighboring nations. As Graham navigates the streets, he reflects on the social dynamics and political tensions that shape the region in 1921, setting the stage for an exploration of the complexities that define post-war Europe and suggesting that the continent must confront the ramifications of its past to find a way forward.
