In this entertaining and initiated collection of essays, Peter Englund remains true to his perspective of what he calls the "small history", that is history on a personal level.
All fourteen essays in Tystnadens historia (The History of Silence) cover some aspect of the history of culture or mentality. Most of the them describes everyday matters from a historical perspective, not least objects that are so familiar to us that they have almost become invisible: spectacles, the paper clip, the screwdriver, and the toothbrush. Also phenomena such as silence, pain and boredom, which also have their own history. |
