Dazzling in its originality, witty and perceptive in
unearthing patterns of behavior that history has erased, RITES OF
SPRING probes the origins, the impact, and the aftermath of World
War I -- from the premiere of Stravinsky''s ballet The Rite of
Spring in 1913 to the death of Hitler in 1945. "The Great War," as
Modris Eksteins writes, "was the psychological turning point . . .
for modernism as a whole. The urge to create and the urge to
destroy had changed places." In this "bold and fertile book"
Atlantic Monthly, Eksteins goes on to chart the seismic shifts in
human consciousness brought about by this great cataclysm through
the lives and words of ordinary people, works of literature, and
such events as Lindbergh''s transatlantic flight and the publication
of the first modern bestseller, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
RITES OF SPRING is a remarkable and rare work, a cultural history
that redefines the way we look at our past and toward our
future.
