Synopsis "the age of revolution"

An overview of world history from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries, including the French, American and Industrial Revolutions. Kovacs chooses pertinent stories which create a tapestry showing the development of humankind from medieval times, when every person had their place in the hierarchy of society, to the awakening of individuality in modern times. In the Steiner-Waldorf Education curriculum this period of history is taught in Class 8 (age 13-14).

Charles Kovacs was born in Becs, Austria, on February 8, 1907. He leaves his native country in 1938 during the annexation of Austria by the Third Reich and enlists in the British army in East Africa. After World War II, he settles in Great Britain and in 1956 begins his work as a Main Class teacher at the Edinburgh Waldorf-Steiner School, where he remains until his retirement in 1976.
During that period, Charles Kovacs writes extensive notes of his classes day by day. Since then, these texts have been used and appreciated for many years by teachers in Edinburgh and other Waldorf Schools. They cover topics of history, mythology, and sciences.
He dies in Edinburgh in September 2001.
