Críticas
"Interesting and informative...a fascinating brief history of a powerful but often hidden thread in Western ways of thought" (Economist)
"The aim of Apocalypses is to understand rather than condemn, and in this Weber succeeds brilliantly. A scholar who writes with a light touch, he has illuminated an important swathe of history which most respectable historians tend to neglect" (John Gross Mail on Sunday)
"Written with the erudition and lucidity for which Eugen Weber is famous...a stimulating book" (Roger Scruton The Times)
"An upbeat look at the end of the world...a fascinating and stylish book" (Jonathan Sale Daily Telegraph)
Reseña del editor
In these secular times, confessing to a belief in the apocalypse consigns a person to Christian fundamentalism or to cult status. But for centuries the Judaeo-Christian version of apocalypse - its Revelations-driven belief in the destruction of evil and the Second Coming of Christ - was accepted as the literal truth and ultimate destination of human existence.
The distinguished historian Eugen Weber redresses the historical and religious amnesia that has consigned the study of apocalyptic and millennial thought to the lunatic fringe. Elegantly written, as witty and entertaining as its profound, this is more a travel book of the apocalypse than a definitive academic treatment. And at its heart is a profound respect for the resilience of alternative rationalities, and for the luxuriant current growth of millenarianism in Africa, Asia and South America.
