Features: This book, written by the left-wing luminary Eric Hobsbawm, is divided into four parts: "Radical Tradition," "The Loyalists," "Contemporary History," and "Jazz." It showcases the waves of worker and peasant movements and the lives of all social strata across the world from the late 18th century to the 1990s, aiming to "rescue" the ordinary people who shaped history from anonymity. The book's tone is grand, covering vast regions and eras, as the author masterfully blends rational narration with humanistic concern. No wonder The Times hailed him as "one of the most famous historians of our time." Eric Hobsbawm
