An Intimate History of Humanity

First Paperback Edition of Theodore Zeldin's acclaimed and influential work, 'An Intimate History of Humanity.' Published in 1995 by Minerva (an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton), this comprehensive study explores the fundamental dilemmas of human existence through a unique blend of historical figures and contemporary portraits. This paperback copy is offered in Good condition. As Bill Bailey states, it's 'The book that changed my life... a constant companion,' and The Daily Telegraph hails it as 'Extraordinary and beautiful...the most exciting and ambitious work of non-fiction I have read in more than a decade.' Zeldin delves into how men and women have grappled with hope and despair, developed the art of conversation, found immunity to loneliness, invented new forms of love and desire, and shifted values from power to respect. He examines the evolution of escaping troubles, the reasons for modern gloom even among the privileged, and the changing dynamics between parents and children. A profound and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human.
