Crankshaw Edward Libri
Edward Crankshaw fu uno scrittore, traduttore e commentatore britannico di affari sovietici, rinomato per le sue profonde analisi della storia russa e austriaca. Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da una profonda comprensione della politica e della cultura, in particolare durante periodi di significativa agitazione sociale e storica. Crankshaw si concentrò sulla decifrazione delle complessità della psiche russa e delle dinamiche di potere in un'epoca in cui l'Europa lottava con regimi totalitari. La sua scrittura offre una preziosa prospettiva sui momenti cruciali della storia europea moderna.






Edward Crankshaw's distinguished study offers a compelling account of the final decades of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At the centre of the dramatic events stands the majestic figure of the Emperor Franz Josef, facing the tragedies of his disastrous marriage and the suicide of his only son, and doggedly resisting the ruin of his inheritance. In a sweeping panorama of Vienna, Imperial Russia, Napolean's France, Bismark's Prussia and Cavour's Italy, Crankshaw portrays the political and military intricacies, the statesman, soldiers and common people, and examines the ambitions and disillusionment that broke the Empire and forged the destiny of the twentieth century.
