KORTE INHOUD
Paperback, in-8, 420 pp., bibliographical notes, bibliography, index.
"Rites of Spring - The Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age" is a historical analysis by Modris Eksteins that examines the cultural and societal changes that took place during and after World War I. The book delves into how the war marked a dramatic shift in Western consciousness, leading to the emergence of modernism in the arts, politics, and society. Eksteins argues that the war, with its unprecedented destruction and loss of life, shattered traditional values and beliefs, paving the way for a new, more disillusioned and fragmented world. He explores this through various lenses, including the influence of the Ballets Russes and the trial of Adolf Hitler. The book is a blend of cultural, social, and intellectual history, offering a unique perspective on the origins of the modern age.
