About this ebook:
Rond 1900 werden in heel Europa dezelfde boeken gelezen, dezelfde opera's opgevoerd en dezelfde muziekstukken gespeeld. Hoe heeft die culturele canon zich kunnen vormen? Historicus Orlando Figes laat zien dat belangrijke technologische en economische ontwikkelingen (trein, telegraaf, fotografie, vrije markt) de verborgen krachten achter de vorming van een gedeelde Europese cultuur zijn geweest.In dit boek staan drie personen centraal: de grote schrijver Ivan Toergenjev, de gevierde zangeres Pauline Viardot, met wie Toergenjev een intieme relatie had, en Paulines echtgenoot Louis Viardot, een goed ingevoerde kunstcriticus. Zij hadden contact met bijna iedereen in Europa die in cultureel opzicht belangrijk was, zoals Chopin, Delacroix, Dickens, Dostojevski, Flaubert, Wagner en Brahms. De beschrijving van de kosmopolitische levens van de drie hoofdpersonen staat voor het grote verhaal van de ongekende artistieke prestatie aan het begin van de negentiende eeuw, toen de culturele globalisering van Europa een aanvang nam. Orlando Figes heeft zich gebaseerd op talloze documenten, vele brieven en ander, onbekend archiefmateriaal. De auteur voert de lezer langs concertzalen, theaters, salons en ateliers. Europeanen is een verhalend boek over cultuur als verbindende kracht tussen naties.
