A SHORT HISTORY OF THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC
Book ID/图书代码： 06545014B67213
English Summary/英文概要： It is impossible to understand the history of modern Europe without some knowledge of the Weimar Republic. The brief fourteen-year period of democracy between the Treaty of Versailles and the advent of the Third Reich was marked by unstable government, economic crisis and hyperinflation and the rise of extremist political movements. At the same time, however, a vibrant cultural scene flourished, which continues to influence the international art world through the aesthetics of Expressionism and the Bauhaus movement. In the fields of art, literature, theatre, cinema, music and architecture - not to mention science - Germany became a world leader during the 1920s, while her perilous political and economic position ensured that no US or European statesman could afford to ignore her. Incorporating original research and a synthesis of the existing historiography, this book will provide students and a general readership with a clear and concise introduction to the history of the first German Republic.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 要想了解现代欧洲历史就离不开魏玛共和国的一些知识。 这个短暂的十四年民主岁月预示着当时政府的不稳定、经济危机和随后的极端政治运动的兴起。 但与此同时，一个充满活力的文化前景展开了，它继续影响着国际艺术世界，是否间接地透过克里斯托弗•伊舍伍德的柏林小说和鲍伯•福斯的卡巴莱餐馆忍受的大众化，或通过表现主义和鲍豪斯建筑学派运动美学体现出更加具体的方式持续不断地影响着世界艺坛。历史学家把魏玛共和国视作为威廉帝国的专制君主政体和第三帝国的暴政之间的民主实验，但同代人也许不是那么悲观的看待，虽然一些人批判新的民主体系，并大声了斥责反对魏玛世界主义和‘堕落’时，大多数人则是称赞了这一主义试图带来社会进步和妇女的解放，或迎来了激动人心的魏玛前卫艺术巅峰。

Awards/获奖情况：Colin Storer s sympathetic new history of the Weimar Republic provides an up-to-date, balanced and reliable overview of the troubled years 1919-1933. He underlines the first German Republic s achievements without glossing over its defects, presenting a compelling picture of a society in turmoil. Storer s book is a perfect invitation to explore these highly ambivalent times.

In his Short History of Weimar Republic, Colin Storer accomplishes the almost impossible task of presenting the broader chronology of Weimar Germany with enough meaningful detail to make it a useful survey with intellectual depth, but without being lost in minutiae. This is a bravura performance.

A wonderfully readable and analytically superb introduction to the history of the Weimar Republic, which was, as Colin Storer demonstrates tremendously well, very different indeed from what historians have imagined it to be for the last half century. --Thomas Weber, Reader in History, University of Aberdeen and Fritz Thyssen Fellow, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University
