En La paz. 1876 Mauricio Tenorio Trillo explora el concepto de paz y sus implicaciones en la historia moderna tomando el año de 1876 como eje por su relativo orden y estabilidad política. El autor analiza guerras civiles, dictaduras, elecciones y regímenes militares ocurridos hacia 1876, así como los procesos de industrialización de los Estados-nación modernos y explora sus connotaciones filosóficas, políticas, éticas y artísticas. Posteriormente explora la idea de la pax alrededor de 1876 como purgatorio político y pragmático, mantenido a través de acuerdos económicos, convenios entre naciones, desarrollo tecnológico, medidas imperialistas y pacifismo científico. Finalmente, Tenorio Trillo da cuenta de la forma en la que se comprendía el tiempo, el riesgo, la distancia, la ciencia y la practicidad en la era de la pax purgatorio.
