Features: Over ten French writers and journalists traveled to the then 12 member states of Europe for research in preparation for the 1988 Paris "European Cultural Characteristics" conference, culminating in the book "Letters from Europe" before us. Here, following the author's footsteps, we delve into the heart of Europe, understanding its history, culture, and the thoughts and ideas of people in the member states before the formation of the EU; we learn about the many twists and turns Europe has experienced in the process of integration; we gain insight into the profound understanding of Europeans, especially intellectuals, about the unity and diversity of European culture, as well as their reflections on the role of their own and national cultures in a new Europe, thereby allowing us to pay more attention to the future of the EU after the accession of the 10 Eastern European countries.
