Era dos extremos

Era dos extremos

Ensaio histórico panorâmico em que o célebre historiador inglês desenvolve a tese de que o século XX teve início com a eclosão da Primeira Guerra Mundial, em 1914, e terminou com a derrocada da União Soviética, em 1991.

Eric Hobsbawm, um dos maiores historiadores da atualidade, dá seu testemunho sobre o século XX: "Meu tempo de vida coincide com a maior parte da época de que trata este livro", diz ele na abertura, "por isso até agora me abstive de falar sobre ele". Neste livro fascinante, porém, ele abandona seu silêncio voluntário para contar, em linguagem simples e envolvente, a história da "era das ilusões perdidas".

"Um clássico erudito que escreve da mesma maneira agradável sobre máfia, jazz, rebeldes africanos, política ou economia." - William Waack, Veja

"Era dos extremos, de Eric Hobsbawm, é sua obra-prima. Mais original, mais pessoal e, inevitavelmente, mais político." - Perry Anderson, The Guardian

"Hobsbawm vê o século marcado por duas grandes eras, a da catástrofe (de 1914 a 1948) e a de ouro (de 1949 a 1973). Nele mataram-se mais seres humanos do que em qualquer outra época e nele se chegou a níveis de bem-estar e a transformações jamais vistas na experiência humana. Hobsbawm conta isso com elegante erudição. Tem a mágica de Fred Astaire." - Elio Gaspari, O Estado de S. Paulo

Ensaio histórico panorâmico em que o célebre historiador inglês desenvolve a tese de que o século XX teve início com a eclosão da Primeira Guerra Mundial, em 1914, e terminou com a derrocada da União Soviética, em 1991.

Eric Hobsbawm, um dos maiores historiadores da atualidade, dá seu testemunho sobre o século XX: "Meu tempo de vida coincide com a maior parte da época de que trata este livro", diz ele na abertura, "por isso até agora me abstive de falar sobre ele". Neste livro fascinante, porém, ele abandona seu silêncio voluntário para contar, em linguagem simples e envolvente, a história da "era das ilusões perdidas".

"Era dos extremos, de Eric Hobsbawm, é sua obra-prima. Mais original, mais pessoal e, inevitavelmente, mais político."— The Guardian
