Interesting Times Twentieth Century Life New by Hobsbawm Eric (1 results)

Condition: Sehr gut. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Eric Hobsbawm has been widely acclaimed as one of our greatest living historians. His much-anticipated autobiography, Interesting Times, offers a personal tour through what Hobsbawm terms "the most extraordinary and terrible century in human history," taking us from his birth in Alexandria and early schooling in Vienna and Weimar Berlin through his student days as a Cambridge Red and Apostle at King's College, and beyond. Hobsbawm took E.M. Forster to hear Lenny Bruce, demonstrated with Bertrand Russell against nuclear arms in Trafalgar Square, translated for Che Guevara in Havana, and inaugurated the modern history of banditry. With Interesting Times, we see the making of one of the left's most important intellectuals, and the history of the twentieth century through the unforgiving eye of one of its most intensely engaged participants.
