Krátky popis
'The events of the first and second world wars are brought to
vivid, startling life thanks to Amaral's skill at colourising
contemporary images' ObserverThe epic, harrowing and world-changing
story - in words and colourized images - of global conflict from
the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the
obliteration of Hiroshima by the dropping of the first atom bomb.
The World Aflame embraces not only the total conflagrations of
1914-18 and 1939-45 and the international tensions, conflicting
ideologies and malign economic forces that set them in train, but
also the civil wars of the interwar period in Ireland and Spain,
wars in Latin America, Britain's imperial travails in such places
as Ireland, Somalia and Palestine, and events on the domestic
'fronts' of the belligerent nations. Like The Colour of Time, this
is a collaboration between the gifted Brazilian artist Marina
Amaral, and the leading British historian Dan Jones.A fusion of
amazing pictures and well-chosen and informative words, The World
Aflame offers a moving - and often terrifying - perspective on the
bloodiest century in human history. 'A new perspective on the
bloodiest half-century in history' Daily Mail'Immensely vivid'
Sunday Times'Brings history to life in breaktaking technicolour'
Financial Times'Revelatory' Daily Express'The past - even its
grimmest, darkest hours - was not in black and white' Guardian
