Description

 							
  
  Europe,
1900-1914: a world adrift, a pulsating era of creativity and contradictions. The major topics of the day: terrorism,
globalization, immigration, consumerism, the collapse of moral values, and the rivalry of superpowers. The twentieth
century was not born in the trenches of the Somme or Passchendaele—but rather in the fifteen vertiginous years
preceding World War I.
  
  In this short span of time, a new world order was emerging in ultimately tragic
contradiction to the old. These were the years in which the political and personal repercussions of the Industrial
Revolution were felt worldwide: Cities grew like never before as people fled the countryside and their traditional
identities; science created new possibilities as well as nightmares; education changed the outlook of millions of
people; mass-produced items transformed daily life; industrial laborers demanded a share of political power; and women
sought to change their place in society—as well as the very fabric of sexual relations.
  
  From the
tremendous hope for a new century embodied in the 1900 World's Fair in Paris to the shattering assassination of a
Habsburg archduke in Sarajevo in 1914, historian Philipp Blom chronicles this extraordinary epoch year by year. Prime
Ministers and peasants, anarchists and actresses, scientists and psychopaths intermingle on the stage of a new century
in this portrait of an opulent, unstable age on the brink of disaster.
  
  Beautifully written and replete
with deftly told anecdotes, The Vertigo Years brings the wonders, horrors, and fears of the early twentieth century
vividly to life.
  Philipp Blom holds a doctorate from Oxford University and is the author of To Have and To Hold
and Enlightening the World. He frequently contributes articles to The Financial Times, The Independent, and The Guardian
among others. He lives in Vienna.
  
  PRAISE
  Guardian
  "The vertiginous atmosphere of a
tumbling prewar society—at the same time exciting and frightening—is described with atmospheric clarity.
The combination of easily worn scholarship, fascinating character studies and fluent story-telling that is often very
funny makes this a hugely enjoyable and illuminating book.... A work of narrative history at its best."
  
 
The Economist
  "Impressive and thought-provoking-encapsulate complex historical and biographical events pithily and in an illuminating
context.... The book brings the fears, enthusiasms and blindspots of the period brilliantly to life."
  
 
Globe and Mail
  "In this enthralling, panoramic sweep of the 15 years preceding the First World War, Blom
convincingly argues that it was this decade and a half that truly marked the start of the modern age, with all its
grandeur and calamities.... With his impressive synthesis of historical literature, old and recent, and his finely drawn
portraits of both emperors and workers, Blom's Vertigo Years will surely enlighten and interest another generation of
readers in an era far in the past, yet worth understanding all the same."
  
  New York Review of Books
 
"[Blom] brings an appealing energy and curiosity, and occasional humor, to his subject.... [He] has been remarkably
successful at synthesizing a wide range of material, creating a panorama of the whole European culture during this
frantic time."
