Features: Burgensis is a transliteration name, meaning the bourgeoisie and the middle class. Whether in terms of intellectual liberation or economic prosperity, the 19th century can be called the golden age of Europe. In this glorious century, it created the bourgeoisie class that human society had never seen before and entrusted the future destiny of humanity to this vast consumer group. Looking back from the 21st century, we will find that many consumer forms we regard as symbols of progress today, the use of material technology, and even the inspiration of ideas, were already part of daily life in the simple 19th century. Perhaps our lives today are more diverse than in the 19th century, but in fact, we are still living in the bourgeoisie world created by the 19th century. This book, rich in illustrations and text, is the best read for introducing the history of the 19th-century European bourgeoisie.
