Apocalypses: Prophecies, Cults, and Millennial… di Eugen Weber
Interesting subject, but very dry.
I tried to read this a couple of times but just couldn't get past the first third. There's simply much too much information crammed into such a short book that it leaves no room for interpretation or for a coherent narrative to emerge. It might serve scholars as a timeline of apocalyptic-inspired events, but it's just a trudge to a lay reader like me.
Un monde en sans cesse disparition, évolution, effondrement et foisonnement, un monde moderne, terriblement vivant.
This is a very carefully composed and meticulously researched work on the transition from the traditional to the modern way of life in rural France between the Franco-Prussian War and the Great War.
France underwent this sort of transition much later than England, and the book has some parallels to books on earlier phases of English culture (Thompson's Customs in Common and Laslett's The World We Have Lost, in particular) despite the fact that they deal with the 17th and 18th Centuries. In addition, England (proper, omitting Wales and Cornwall) never had as great a gulf between the culture and language of the cities and towns, a national culture, and that of the countryside.
The other linkage to be made, in the latter part of the book, is with Hobsbawm's The Invention of Tradition.
(As a plus, it pointed me in the direction if the original text and subtext of ”Les Filles des Forges".)
Well worth the investment of reading.… (altro)
