"Heart of Europe" by Ralph Adams Cram is a recounting of a specific European area that highlights the rich tapestry of its historical and cultural evolution. Cram's narrative style paints a picture of a once-unified region celebrated for its art and architecture, now marred by destruction from war, especially World War I. Churches, schools, and cities like Louvain and Reims are not just physical casualties, but symbols of a deeper cultural and spiritual loss. Although the land showcases resilience amidst ruin, Cram's reflections provide an account of the land between the Seine and the Rhine.
