A book of European statistics

This compact volume gathers a wide array of numbers that paint a picture of Europe as it stood in the late 1920s. Written with the same care as official government publications, it offers readers a trustworthy snapshot of the continent’s geography, populations and the basic fabric of everyday life.

The chapters move from the soaring peaks of the Alps and Caucasus to the great rivers that braid the landscape, then on to lakes, canals and the detailed breakdown of each country’s size and inhabitants. It also touches on industry, transport, agriculture, trade with the United States and other social statistics, giving a rounded view of Europe’s economic and cultural standing at the time.

Listening to this guide feels like scrolling through a well‑organized reference book, with clear, measured narration that makes the figures easy to absorb. It’s a handy companion for anyone curious about historical European data, students of geography, or travelers seeking context for the places they explore.
