Specificatii
An Economist Best Book of the Year ``Sweeping . . . an ambitious
synthesis . . .Evans] writes with admirable narrative power and
possesses a wonderful eye for local color . . .
Fascinating.``--Stephen Schuker, The Wall Street Journal From the
bestselling author of The Third Reich at War, a masterly account of
Europe in the age of its global hegemony; the latest volume in the
Penguin History of Europe series Richard J. Evans, bestselling
historian of Nazi Germany, returns with a monumental new addition
to the acclaimed Penguin History of Europe series, covering the
period from the fall of Napoleon to the outbreak of World War I.
Evans's gripping narrative ranges across a century of social and
national conflicts, from the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 to the
unification of both Germany and Italy, from the Russo-Turkish wars
to the Balkan upheavals that brought this era of relative peace and
growing prosperity to an end. Among the great themes it discusses
are the decline of religious belief and the rise of secular science
and medicine, the journey of art, music, and literature from
Romanticism to Modernism, the replacement of old-regime punishments
by the modern prison, the end of aristocratic domination and the
emergence of industrial society, and the dramatic struggle of
feminists for women's equality and emancipation. Uniting the era's
broad-ranging transformations was the pursuit of power in all
segments of life, from the banker striving for economic power to
the serf seeking to escape the power of his landlord, from the
engineer asserting society's power over the environment to the
psychiatrist attempting to exert science's power over human nature
itself. The first single-volume history of the century, this
comprehensive and sweeping account gives the reader a magnificently
human picture of Europe in the age when it dominated the rest of
the globe.
