Europeana: A Brief History of the Twentieth CenturyDalkey Archive Press, 2005 - 122 pagina's Told in an informal, mesmerizing voice, Ouredn'k represents the twentieth century in all its contradictions and grand illusions, demonstrating that nothing substantial has changed between 1900 and 1999--humanity is still hopeful for the future and still mired in age-old conflicts. As he demonstrates that nothing can be reduced to a single, true viewpoint, Ouredn'k mixes hard facts and idiosyncratic observations, highlighting the horror and absurdity of the twentieth century and the further absurdity of attempting to narrate this history. |
