Eric Hobsbawm Libri

Con questo saggio Eric Hobsbawm delinea un panorama esauriente della storiadel ventesimo secolo. Il secolo, per molti aspetti, più violento dellastoria dell'umanità: ben due guerre mondiali. Ma il ventesimo secolo è statocaratterizzato anche dall'emancipazione femminile, dal progresso scientifico,dalle rivoluzioni nella società e nella cultura. Un "secolo breve" perl'accelerazione sempre più esasperata impressa agli eventi della storia ealle trasformazioni nella vita degli uomini.

La storia dell'Età degli imperi è quella del "mondo e della società del liberalismo borghese avanzante verso 'la strana morte'... che la coglie proprio quando essa raggiunge il suo apogeo, e a causa proprio delle contraddizioni insite in questa sua avanzata". Con uno stile espositivo intelligente, Hobsbawm accompagna il lettore alla scoperta di un mondo apparentemente lontano e lo rende consapevole delle profonde radici che legano quel mondo al nostro secolo breve. (Vittorio Vidotto)

Eric Hobsbawm es, en palabras de Orlando Figes, «el historiador vivo más conocido del mundo». Nacido en 1917 en Alejandría, pasó su niñez en la Viena posterior a la Gran Guerra, su adolescencia en Berlín, donde fue testigo de la llegada de Hitler al poder, y su juventud en Londres y en Cambridge, en vísperas de la guerra civil española. Ha sido profesor de la Universidad de Londres hasta su jubilación, y posteriormente de la New School Research de Nueva York. La riqueza de la experiencia vivida y su inmensa curiosidad intelectual son los pilares de esta autobiografía apasionante, memoria del siglo más terrible y extraordinario de la historia de la humanidad. Políglota, cosmopolita, historiador riguroso pero dotado de una gran fuerza imaginativa, sentido del humor y talento literario, Hobsbawm nos lleva en este libro desde el corazón mismo de Europa hasta los Estados Unidos (que empezó a apreciar gracias a su pasión por el jazz), a América Latina (donde fue intérprete de Che Guevara), a la India y al Lejano Oriente, siempre al paso de su firme compromiso con la causa del socialismo, para entregarnos una aproximación genial a la historia del siglo XX, a sus guerras y a sus batallas ideológicas, a sus éxitos y a sus fracasos, a los poderosos y a los débiles, a los grandes hombres y a la gente corriente, con una lucidez y un coraje que hacen de estas memorias un documento histórico y humano de proporciones gigantescas.

Passato sotto silenzio per pi� di vent'anni dopo il 1848, il Manifesto del Partito Comunista dagli anni Settanta dell'Ottocento � stato tema di dibattito per storiografi, filosofi e politologi, che hanno cercato, da differenti prospettive, di interpretarlo, revisionarlo, applicarlo, confutarlo. L'opera di Marx ed Engels � divenuta anche fondamento dottrinale di milioni di uomini in tutto il mondo e di intere organizzazioni statali. A pi� di centocinquant'anni dalla sua pubblicazione resta ancora un capolavoro del pensiero e mantiene intatto tutto il suo vigore polemico.PER ALTRI CLASSICI DEL MARXISMO DIGITA "BI CLASSICI" NELLA AMAZON SEARCH BAR!

Dividing the century into the Age of Catastrophe, 1914-1950, the Golden Age, 1950-1973, and the Landslide, 1973-1991, Hobsbawm marshals a vast array of data into a volume of unparalleled inclusiveness, vibrancy, and insight, a work that ranks with his classics The Age of Empire and The Age of Revolution. Includes 32 pages of photos.

Contains pages 53 to 76 of Chapter 3 from THE AGE OF REVOLUTION, 1789-1848

A major treatment of the crucial years 1848-1875 - a penetrating analysis of the rise of capitalism throught the world. In the 1860s a new word entered the economic and political vocabulary of the world: "capitalism". The global triumph of capitalism is the major theme of history in the decades after 1848. It was the triumph of a society which believed that economic growth rests on competitve private enterprise, on success in buying everything in the cheapest market (including labour) and selling it in the dearest. An economy so based, and therefore nestling naturally on the sound foundations of a bourgeoisie composed of those whom energy, merit and intelligence had raised to their position and kept there, would - it was believed - not only create a world of suitably distributed material plenty but of ever-growing enlightenment, reason and human opportunity, an advance of the sciences and the arts, in brief a world of continuous and accelerating material and moral progress.

First published in 1982, this book is inspired the ideas generated by Eric Hobsbawm, and has taken shape around a unifying preoccupation with the symbolic order and its relationship to political and religious belief. It explores some of the oldest question in Marxist historiography, for example the relationship of �base� and �superstructure�, art and social life, and also some of the newest and most problematic questions, such as the relationship of dreams and fantasy to political action, or of past and present � historical consciousness � to the making of ideology. The essays, which range widely over period and place, are intended to break new ground and take on difficult questions.

A different book for this isbn can be found here. Eric Hobsbawm traces with brilliant analytical clarity the transformation brought about in every sphere of European life by the Dual revolution - the 1789 French revolution and the Industrial Revolution that originated in Britain. This enthralling and original account highlights the significant sixty years when industrial capitalism established itself in Western Europe and when Europe established the domination over the rest of the world it was to hold for half a century.

Eric Hobsbawm's AGE OF EXTREMES was a remarkable phenomenon, a book of serious and challenging historical analysis that became a worldwide bestseller. Now, THE NEW CENTURY continues Hobsbawm's analysis of our twentieth century, asking crucial questions about our inheritance from the century of conflict and its meanings for the years to come. Looking back over the last decade to learn something of the new era, Hobsbawm finds the distinction between internal and international conflicts and between state of war and state of peace disappearing. He goes on to analyse the crisis of the multi-ethnic state and shows the distortions of history involved in the creation of its myths. He expresses his anxiety over the system of international relations between states that have so far ruled by colonialism and nuclear terror. Hobsbawm then assesses the impact that a popular global culture has had on every aspect of life, from happiness and social hierarchy to nutrition and the environment. Published this year in dozens of countries throughout the world, THE NEW CENTURY is a concise summary of the thinking of one of the pre-eminent historians.

An engaging and provocative survey of our current globalised world from one of Britain's foremost political historians.

Hobsbawm's classic account, revised in the light of recent political upheavals.

Brilliant and incisive, HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD leaves us in no doubt that Karl Marx is as much a thinker for our century as he was for the preceding two.

Available for the first time in an affordable paperback edition, "On History" presents key essays of history by "one of the few genuinely great historians of our century" ("New Republic").

Many of the traditions which we think of as very ancient in their origins were not in fact sanctioned by long usage over the centuries, but were invented comparatively recently. This book explores examples of this process of invention - the creation of Welsh and Scottish 'national culture'; the elaboration of British royal rituals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the origins of imperial ritual in British India and Africa; and the attempts by radical movements to develop counter-traditions of their own. This book addresses the complex interaction of past and present, bringing together historicans and anthropologists in a fascinating study of ritual and symbolism which possess new questions for the understanding of our history.

Describes Britain's rise as the world's first industrial world power, its decline from the temporary dominance of the pioneer, its rather special relationship with the rest of the world (notably the underdeveloped countries) and the effects of all these on the life of the British people.

Hobsbawm examines the conditions that both created the flowering of the belle époque and held the seeds of its disintegration: paternalistic capitalism, globalization, and the arrival of a mass consumer society. Passionate but never sentimental, he ranges freely across subjects as diverse as classical music, the fine arts, rock music, and sculpture. He records the passing of the golden age of the �free intellectual” and explores the lives of forgotten greats; analyzes the relationship between art and totalitarianism; and dissects phenomena as diverse as surrealism, art nouveau, the emancipation of women, and the myth of the American cowboy.

Eric Hobsbawm (1917-2012) wrote that Latin America was the only region of the world outside Europe which he felt he knew well and where he felt entirely at home. He claimed this was because it was the only part of the Third World whose two principal languages, Spanish and Portuguese, were within his reach. But he was also, of course, attracted by the potential for social revolution in Latin America. After the triumph of Fidel Castro in Cuba in January 1959, and even more after the defeat of the American attempt to overthrow him at the Bay of Pigs in April 1961, 'there was not an intellectual in Europe or the USA', he wrote, 'who was not under the spell of Latin America, a continent apparently bubbling with the lava of social revolutions'. 'The Third World brought the hope of revolution back to the First in the 1960s'. The two great international inspirations were Cuba and Vietnam, 'triumphs not only of revolution, but of Davids against Goliaths, of the weak against the all- powerful'.

A fascinating study of the spectacular explots if robbers and outlaws from Robin Hood to Jesse James. schovat popis

“One of the few genuinely great historians of our century” according to the New Republic, Eric Hobsbawm has produced a canon of landmark books—including The Age of Capital, The Age of Revolution, Bandits, and The Age of Extremes—that has both set the standard for radical scholarship and influenced historical thinking across the political spectrum.Now back in print after thirty years, Revolutionaries is vintage Hobsbawm, written masterfully amid one of the century’s most intense periods of political and social upheaval, putting those events in historical context. Few observers were as astute as Hobsbawm at probing, criticizing, and clarifying radical movements, whether in Beijing or Berkeley. Ranging from historical investigations into communism to contemporary appraisals of revolutionary movements and meditations on Marxism, Hobsbawm’s commentaries are essential guides to ideas and people that changed the face of the twentieth century.Hobsbawm’s essays retain a freshness that speaks both to his brilliance as a writer and scholar, as well as to the perennial importance of his subjects. At a time when the very concept of revolution has been largely discredited, these essays remind us of the enduring importance of radical investigations into—and solutions to—society’s persistent inequalities and injustices.

An insightful and enlightening collection of Eric Hobsbawm's writing on the subject of nationalism.

These 26 essays range over the history of working men and women between the late18th century and the present day.

There are more recent reflections: on the May Day holiday; the Vietnam War; socialism and the avantgarde; Mario Puzo, the Mafia and the Sicilian bandit Salvatore Guiliano; and the cultural consequences of Christopher Columbus. There are tributes to some of jazz's legendary figures - Count Basie, SidneyBechet and Dike Ellington - anf the tragic blues-singer Billie Holiday.

Šírenie hodnôt a inštitúcií možno sotva dosiahnuť náhlym uplatnením vonkajšej sily, ak preň nenastali lokálne podmienky, ktoré by ich prispôsobili a umožnili zaviesť. Demokracia a západné hodnoty spolu s ľudskými právami nie sú ako technické importy, ktorých úžitok je bezprostredne zrejmý a prijmú ich všetci, čo ich môžu uplatniť a dopriať si ich ako mierový bicykel a vražedný AK-47 či technické služby ako letiská. Keby nimi boli, mnohé európske, ázijské či africké štáty, ktoré by teoreticky fungovali s podobnými demokratickými ústavami (hoci v praxi to tak nie je), by sa politicky podobali. Slovom, v dejinách je len veľmi málo skratiek: o tom som sa vo svojom živote a pri premýšľaní o mnohých záležitostiach minulého storočia poučil, a nielen ja.

Von einem in Ungnade gefallenen Ritterorden zu den Geheimnissen eines neoklassizistischen Malers folgt Julien Sauniere einer Spur von Verschwörungen, die bis zu den Mauern Jerusalems während des ersten Kreuzzugs reicht. In einem Europa, in dem Zauberer durch die Straßen streifen und die katholische Kirche herrscht, verfolgt Julien eine Wahrheit, die die Welt für immer verändern könnte. Mächtige Kräfte haben sich darauf spezialisiert, sicherzustellen, dass er nicht erfolgreich ist.

Het verschijnsel nationalisme dat in dit boek aan een nader onderzoek wordt onderworpen maakt tegen het einde van de twintigste eeuw een nieuwe opleving door. Maar is dit werkelijk een nieuw hoogtepunt of betreft het een stuiptrekking van een alleen overleefd verschijnsel?

Para contener los libros de historia menos academicos y mas divulgativos nacio en 1997 esta coleccion que ha ido creciendo con extraordinaria rapidez, ya que en cinco anos se han publicado titulos que han alcanzado, en general, una extraordinaria difusion. Entre ellos, las tres famosas &la" eras de Hobsbawm: La era de la revolucion; La era del capital y La era del imperio, pero tambien libros tan destacados como Pensar historicamente, de Pierre Vilar, Sobre la historia, del propio Hobsbawm, Carlos V y su tiempo, de John Lynch, Historia economica de la Europa contemporanea, de Vera Zamagni, La historia de los hombres, de Josep Fontana o Espana en su cenit, de Jordi Nadal. Publicado en castellano por Ariel en 1968, y agotada su ultima edicion desde hacia tiempo, nos ha parecido que, ante los nuevos fenomenos de &la" protesta primitiva que surgen en toda Europa con la dificil integracion de los inmigrantes, es oportuno regresar a las ensenanzas de este libro sobre las formas arcaicas de los movimientos sociales en los siglos XIX y XX.

Der Historiker Eric J. Hobsbawm, einer der großen Denker der Gegenwart, reflektiert präzise den Wandel der Kunst- und Kulturszene des ausgehenden 20. Jahrhunderts angesichts der Möglichkeiten der technischen Reproduktion der Kunst und dessen gesellschaftliche Ursachen. Hobsbawms Überlegungen werden durch jene des Sozialhistorikers Hubert Christian Ehalt ergänzt, der den Bogen der Auseinandersetzung bis ins 21. Jahrhundert spannt, in dem ein Wandel in der Rolle des Künstlers, des Rezipienten und des Verständnisses darüber, was Kunst-Raum ist, stattfindet. Die Autoren beantworten die Frage, was heute noch als Kunst bezeichnet werden kann, beleuchten den Entwicklungsprozess des Kulturbegriffs im Spannungsfeld von Tradition und Traditionsbruch und werfen einen visionären Blick auf zukünftige Kulturbedürfnisse und -erwartungen.

La era del capital es la segunda parte de ese gran panorama. Hobsbawm nos muestra aquí los años triunfales del ascenso del capitalismo industrial y de la cultura burguesa que van de 1848 a 1875, cuando, apagados los rescoldos de la revolución, se inicia un tiempo de nuevos valores y nuevas perspectivas, de transformaciones sociales, que ve la formación de grandes fortunas y la migración de masas empobrecidas, mientras una Europa sometida al nuevo ritmo de los auges y las crisis extiende sus empresas económicas y su cultura al resto del planeta. Hobsbawm nos habla de los acontecimientos políticos, de la evolución económica y de los hechos culturales en una síntesis vigorosa y original, que hizo exclamar a un crítico: «Por amor del cielo, y para vuestro propio bien, ¡leedlo!».
