Not sure if you're just looking for Europe, but if not this one's depressing as all hell and quite moving.

Captain Alatriste is a series of novels set in the 1600s,is about a Spanish mercenary and his protégé during the Flanders War, it is quite entertaining.
It had an adaptation with Viggo as the protagonist, but i recommend to read the novels first

The Island of the Day Before. Not my favorite by Eco, but was a fun read and felt less heady than some of his other stuff.
