  Fractured Times by Eric Hobsbawm

  Price: £25.00    Add to Basket

  Eric Hobsbawm, who died in late 2012, was the most famous, and among the most infamous, historian of the 20th century. An unreconstructed Marxist, his keen eye and depth of knowledge transcended his political beliefs. In this posthumous collection of essays form the late President of Birkbeck, his sheer passion and undeniable attention to the world are beautifully illustrated. No other historian could talk so persuasively about the role of the Jewish vote in mid-century Turin, or how Mormons so often were the villains in Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes stories. Here Hobsbawm dissects the 20th century deftly and with the wit and wisdom of a man who lived through some of the most startling moment in Human History.
