{"product_id":"peasant-europe-1","title":"Peasant Europe","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 2006. This classic work examines the modern history of Europe from an unusual perspective. European history has usually focussed on the urban life elite and the middle classes, but before World War II more than half of the entire population of the continent was composed of rural peasants occupying a territory stretching from the Black Seas to the Baltic forming a natural barrier between East and West. These people- Poles, Ukrainians, Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians, Southern Slavs and others- are the focus of this book. First published in the 1930s, Tiltman's Peasant Europe strays \u003cbr\u003efrom the normal look at Europe during this time period. While \u003cbr\u003emuch of the continent is concerned with problems of \u003cbr\u003einternational relations, industry and the future of armaments, \u003cbr\u003eTiltman goes a step further than most writers and speaks with \u003cbr\u003ethe common peasant to uncover their day-to-day concerns. He \u003cbr\u003efinds that most simply want consideration and a reasonable \u003cbr\u003estandard of living for themselves and their children. \u003cbr\u003eAccompanying the text are full page photographs, most of \u003cbr\u003ewhich are taken by the author himself, which offer a candid look \u003cbr\u003eat peasant life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kegan Paul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54257084236120,"sku":"9780710311559","price":78.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780710311559_22ce94f6-34c8-4401-82b3-8e4c216128d7.jpg?v=1769826623","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/peasant-europe-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
