Eric Hobsbawm, el gran historiador británico, es, quizás, uno de los pocos profesionales que podía enfrentarse al estudio de una época histórica de la que todavía, autor y lectores, formamos parte. Lo ha hecho con un gran conocimiento de la bibliografía, especializada y no especializada, y con sus propias experiencias y observaciones, que ha sabido entrelazar hábilmente en una síntesis magistral en la que se avanza con creciente expectación. Su obra abunda en análisis incisivos, basados en sólidos argumentos y desprovistos dela inhibición ante hechos que tradicionalmente se...

So that rounds off Hobsbawm's tetralogy on the 19th and 20th centuries. 2000-odd pages of sustained historical brilliance that have changed the way I comprehend the world. In the absence of gods (and our inability to step outside of history to view it objectively) the nearest that we can come to a god's eye view is human genius. Hobsbawm... a few qualms:1) gross overstatement of the role of the Soviet Union "threat" in the creation of the Western welfare state... goes hand-in-hand with a tendency to see the Left as a historic force embodied by the Soviet Union, rather than the product of internal contradictions within capitalist societies. In other words, the welfare state... I remember, a long time ago I read this when it was first published in 1994 - I was a social history student at Swansea Uni - and my lecturer told me this book was a 'departure for Hobsbawm'. I never quite or fully understood what she meant back all those years ago. My second re-read, and I still do not understand what she really meant,...
