The Age of Revolution: 1749-1848
Eric Hobsbawm
4,2(5808)Tarief
Between 1789 and 1848 two vast upheavals - one originating in Engalnd, the other in France - catapulted the world into modernity. No one has documented the dual impact of the Industial and Fracnh Revolutions more thoroughly or insightfully than Eric Hobsbawm in this magisterial work, the commencing volume of his epic four-volume history of the making of the modern world. More than a chronicle of momentous events, "The Age of Revolution" is a brilliant and often radically unexpected interpretation of phenomena we now take for granted : the transformation of peasants into industrial laborers ; the replacement of omnipotent monarchs by a triumphant middle class ; the birth of new sciences, technologies, and ideologies ; the shock waves that rippled outward from Europe to America, Asia and Africa. Written with clarity and aphoristic elegance, "The Age of Revolution" is a landmark work that is indispensable to any understanding of the world in which we now live. -- 4ème de couverture

Eric Hobsbawm patří k nejlepším anglosaským historikům 19. a 20. století. Jeho poslední kniha představuje brilantní syntetický pohled na dvěma světovými válkami poznamenané století. Hlavní důraz v ní Hobsbawm klade na dějinné proměny společenských idejí, které dvacáté století formovaly. Komunismus, fašismus, socialismus, doznívající liberalismus, konzervativismus, myšlenky sociálního státu spolu s mnoha kulturními a uměleckými směry, které krátkodobě či dlouhodobě pohlcovaly intelektuální i konsumní svět, tvoří základní pilíře autorovy jistě velmi subjektivní reflexe "krátkého" a tudíž hektického věku. Předností Hobsbawmovy knihy je její celosvětový záběr. Autor se v ní nesoustředil pouze na ideový, sociální a politický vývoj Spojených států, Ruska či nejvýznamnějších zemí západní Evropy, ale stejnou měrou se věnoval i problémům jak třetího, tak i dynamicky se rozvíjejícího asijského světa.
