Eric Hobsbawm is a British Marxist historian and relevant author. He was born in Alejandria on June 9^th, 1917. He lived in Viena and Berlin. His parents were Leopold Percy Hobsbawm y Nelly Grün. They early died, for this reason, Hobsbawn and his sister were adopted for his maternal aunt and for his paternal uncle, and they move to England.

He studied in Prinz- Heinrich-Gymnasium, in the St Marylebone Grammar School, and finally, in the King’s College, Cambridge. Then he was teacher of history at the University of London, and in his later years he was teacher and integrant of the department of politic sciences of The New School for Social Research’s.

Hobsbawm is considered as the most influence historian at present. The Hobsbawm’s principal books are The Age or Revolution: Europe 1789-1848, The Age of Capital, 1848-1875, the Age of Empire, Nations and Nationalism, On the Edge of the New Century (2000), How to Change the World: Tales of Marx and Marxism 1840-2011. In these books, he shows his interested about the development of traditions as inventions of national elites to justify their existence and his analyze of de “dual revolution”

He died on October 1, 2012 for leukemia and pneumonia.

I like very much this historian because he shows a great interpretation about history. He include in his study cultural, economic and political elements, that make his study a grate work.

FOOD AND HEALTHY EATING

The food is a topic very interesting to analyse because today is varied the offer of food types, where you can find fast food, healthy food, prepared food, etc.

What you eat each person not only depends on the tastes, but will also the money that counts. The healthy food is very varied, but also is very expensive so it not everyone can access this. The fast food is bad, but is not expensive so it many people choose to buy this type of food. In general I eat healthy food as homemade food, but sometimes I like eat the junk food, is very delicious.

I think people should eat everything in a balanced way. The breakfast is very important to work during the day; the breakfast is a most important food on the day.  I like to try new food and drinks, is very fun and exciting, especially in cities and countries.

In general I don’t cook, but sometimes I like cook food with different ingredient or different food for example “ají de gallina”, rice with seafood.  I prefer to eat at home, but occasionally I like to go to some restaurant.

 If I were on death row and I would have to ask my last plate of food, ask for a churrasco and chips, I love this food.
