Vahepeal läks see natuke liiga kuivaks lugemiseks, kuid üleüldiselt oli see ikkagi hariv lugemine ning huvitav ülevaade 19. sajandi suurtest muutustest. Ühelt poolt on tunne, et 19. sajand oli ju niiiiiiiiiii ammu. Teiselt poolt aga... 19. sajandil elasid mu vanavanavanemad ning selliselt mõeldes ei olegi see väga ammu.
Enamjaolt keskendub raamat Prantsusmaale, Suurbritanniale ja Saksamaale. Teisi riike ning seal toimuvat mainitakse pigem möödaminnes, kuid eks väga mitmed suured muudatused saidki just alguse nendest kolmest riigist. Ja kuigi raamatu näol on juttu 19. sajandist, siis ma sattusin 20. sajandi kokkuvõtte ja sel ajal toimunud suurte muutuste peale.
20. sajandil leiutati esimene lennuk ja inimene jõudis Kuu peale.
20. sajandil toimus kaks maailmasõda.
20. sajand algas liikuvate piltidega ning lõppes lameekraantelekatega kodudes.
20. sajandi alguses oli raadio ning lõpus internet.
Uskumatu ja mõneti keeruline on aru saada ka sellest, kui palju on inimeste elu mõne sajandiga muutunud. Uskumatu ja samas fantastiline.

Üldiselt väga huvitav ülevaade eri ühiskonnarühmade elust 19. sajandi Euroopas. Kohati ehk pisut kuiv ja liigselt arvudega ülekuhjatud.

Interessante raccolta di saggi prodotti da autori di molte nazionalità su alcune declinazioni dell'uomo dell'Ottocento.
Si descrive così il nobile e il contadino, la maestra e il medico, e così via.
Si percepisce la portata di cambiamenti epocali che avvennero in quel secolo, la profonda trasformazione della società.
