The five-volume History of Private Life is a comprehensive study created in the 1980s by a group of French, British and American scholars under the leadership of the renowned historians from the Annales School - Philippe Ariès and Georges Duby. The five-volume book covers the entire history of the West from Antiquity to the end of the 20th century. The fifth and final volume is about the 20th century, in which private life underwent incredible changes. It talks about the dehumanization of man in war and in concentration camps, about the sexual revolution and a new perception of sports, about how you can keep personal secrets in the era of mass media and state control, about the transformations of religion and the emergence of the Internet - and much more. p>
