Publisher's summary

Eric Hobsbawm traces with brilliant anlytical clarity the transformation brought about in every sphere of European life by the Dual revolution - the 1789 French revolution and the Industrial Revolution that originated in Britain.

This enthralling and original account highlights the significant 60 years when industrial capitalism established itself in Western Europe and when Europe established the domination over the rest of the world it was to hold for half a century.

whole-heartedly recommended

Great book and appropriate narration that doesn't get emotional, but isn't monotonous either, with just the right pace, so that one is able to follow the argument and has no trouble staying awake at the same time.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
