Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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").<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Few historians have done more to change the way we see the history of modern times than Eric Hobsbawm. From his early books on the Industrial Revolution and European empires, to his magisterial 1995 study of the short twentieth century, <em>Age of Extremes</em>, Hobsbawm has become known as one of the finest practitioners of his craft. <p/><em>On History</em> brings together his brilliant and challenging reflections on the uses, and abuses, of history. Ranging from considerations of history from below and the progress of history to recent debate on the relevance of studying history and the responsibility of the historian, <em>On History</em> reflects Hobsbawm's lifelong concern with the relations between past, present, and future.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Eric Hobsbawm surveys the writings of modern historians with the magisterial gaze of a man who has seen both the rise of Hitler and the fall of Communism.</strong><br>--<em>THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW</em><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Eric Hobsbawm was born in Alexandria in 1917 and educated in Austria, Germany and England. He taught at Birkbeck College, University of London, and then at the New School for Social Research in New York. In addition to "The Age of Revolution," "The Age of Capital," "The Age of Empire" and "The Age of Extremes," his books include "Bandits," "Revolutionaries," "Uncommon People," and his memoir "Interesting Times."
