Eric Hobsbawm, lifelong Marxist, whose work influenced generations of historians and politicians, dies, aged 95 after long illness.
„Hobsbawm’s four-volume history of the 19th and 20th centuries, spanning European history from the French revolution to the fall of the USSR, is acknowledged as among the defining works on the period.“
*** Es fehlt „The Age of Empire“, dafür hat sich „On History“ (auch nicht schlecht) hineingeschmuggelt.
