Forever in the shadow of the war which followed, 1913 is usually seen as little more than the antechamber to apocalypse. Our perspectives narrowed by hindsight, the world of that year is reduced to its most frivolous features - last summers in grand aristocratic residences, a flurry of extravagant social engagements - or its most destructive ones: the unresolved rivalries of the great European powers, the anxieties of a period of accelerated change, the social fear of revolution, the violence in the Balkans. Our images of the times are too often dominated by the faded pastels of upper-class indulgence or by the unmitigated blackness of a world rushing headlong into the abyss of an inevitable war.

1913: The World before the Great War proposes a strikingly different portrait, returning the world in that year to its contemporary freshness, its future still undecided, its outlook still open. Told through the stories of twenty-three cities - Europe's capitals at the height of their global reach, the emerging metropolises of America, the imperial cities of Asia and Africa, the boomtowns of Australia and the Americas - Charles Emmerson presents a panoramic view of a world crackling with possibilities, from St Petersburg to Shanghai and from Los Angeles to Jerusalem.

What emerges is a rich and complex world, more familiar than we expect, connected as never before, on the threshold of events which would change the course of global history.

和塑造了今日世界之主要政治版图形势的第二次世界大战相比,第一次世界大战既显得比较遥远,又仿佛没有多少成就,好像除了沙皇俄国爆发了“二月革命”和“十月革命”、最终成立了世界上第一个社会主义国家,而中国因为参加一战却反而遭至“丧权辱国”的待遇而爆发了“五四运动...

【藏书阁打卡】我是带着“到底1913年发生了什么才导致1914年的一战爆发”这个问题来阅读本书的,这也是作者在导论中提出的问题,很遗憾作者没有明确给出答案,当然也有可能因为这个问题太宽泛,很难找到一个明确的答案,但不可否认作者在写本书时花费的巨大精力,史料涉及书籍...

第一次世界大战始于1914年,在这之前的世界,距离今日已经超过100年,当时的世界究竟是怎样的?若不去了解历史,似乎已经很难想象。其实,一战前的1913年,远比我们想象的更现代,比我们所预期的更像我们这个时代。 关于一战前的世界,究竟是怎样的,查尔斯·埃默森的《1913:...

读罢《1913》,感慨颇多。1913,一个平凡而又特殊的年份,在企鹅欧洲史里,这是人类地狱之行的前夜;在霍布斯鲍姆笔下,这是帝国年代的丧钟敲响的前奏和极端年代的先声。在我们的感观世界里,这一年仿佛是20世纪一系列灾难前最后的静谧,是人类走向深渊前最后的凝眸……怀着这...
