Ebook: Hoffen - Scheitern - Weiterleben: Enttäuschung als historische Erfahrung in Deutschland im 20. Jahrhundert

An IfZ Publication

While disillusionment has been ascribed great historical significance, this sentiment has rarely been the subject of specific research. The volume explores the causes, manifestations, and consequences of collective and individual disillusionment. Covering the entire scope of the 20^th century, they show the conflicted nature of expectations as the sources of later disappointments. However, disappointment never means the “end of history.”
