A survey work by Jürgen Osterhammel, a renowned historian of the New and Modern period and a specialist in the history of ideas, intercultural relations, and Chinese history, this is a sweeping portrait of the long nineteenth century, encompassing the period from 1770 to 1914.
Combining political, economic, social, intellectual history, technological history, everyday life, and environmental history, the author shows these spheres in their interconnectedness throughout the era at the levels of regions, macro-regions, and the world at large.
From New York to New Delhi, from Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion, from the dangers and prospects of Europe's transatlantic labor markets to the difficulties faced by nomadic and tribal peoples, Osterhammel offers the reader panoramas of different ways of life and political systems, exploring the complex interweaving of forces that made the nineteenth century an era of global transformation for the world. Jürgen Osterhammel is a historian and professor emeritus at the University of Freiburg. His monumental study has been translated into all the major languages of the world and has rightly acquired the status of a modern classic.
