1913: The Last Year Stockists

Forever in the shadow of the war which followed 1913 is usually seen as little more than the antechamber to apocalypse. Our perspectives narrowed by hindsight the world of that year is reduced to its most frivolous features - last summers in grand aristocratic residences a flurry of extravagant social engagements - or its most destructive ones: the unresolved rivalries of the great European powers the anxieties of a period of accelerated change the social fear of revolution the violence in the Balkans. Our images of the times are too often dominated by the faded pastels of upper-class indulgence or by the unmitigated blackness of a world rushing headlong into the abyss of an inevitable war. 1913: The World before the Great War proposes a strikingly different portrait returning the world in that year to its contemporary freshness its future still undecided its outlook still open. Told through the stories of twenty-three cities - Europe's capitals at the height of their global reach the emerging metropolises of America the imperial cities of Asia and Africa the boomtowns of Australia and the Americas - Charles Emmerson presents a panoramic view of a world crackling with possibilities from St Petersburg to Shanghai and from Los Angeles to Jerusalem. What emerges is a rich and complex world more familiar than we expect connected as never before on the threshold of events which would change the course of global history.
