Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. 677pp. Black Cloth with copper lettering on the spine. Text is not highlighted or underlined. Unclipped jacket has single small, closed tear on upper front edge. "This book traces the origins of a faith--perhaps the faith of the century. Modern revolutionaries are believers, no less committed and intense than were Christians or Muslims of an earlier era. What is new is the belief that a perfect secular order will emerge from forcible overthrow of traditional authority. This inherently implausible idea energized Europe in the nineteenth century, and became the most pronounced ideological export of the West to the rest of the world in the twentieth century. Billington is interested in revolutionaries--the innovative creators of a new tradition. His historical frame extends from the waning of the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century to the beginnings of the Russian Revolution in the early twentieth century. It is an invaluable work of history and contribution to our understanding of political life." Size: Thick Octavo. Codice articolo 034664
