I had to choose between a\n      royalist or a republican, a democrat or a conservative, a socialist or a\n      bonapartist; as I was neither one nor the other, nor even anything, I\n      often envied those around me who were so fortunate as to have arrived at\n      definite conclusions. After listening to various doctrines, I acknowledged\n      that there undoubtedly was something wrong with my head. The motives that\n      influenced others did not influence me; I could not comprehend how, in\n      political matters, a man could be governed by preferences. My assertive\n      countrymen planned a constitution just like a house, according to the\n      latest, simplest, and most attractive plan; and there were several under\n      considerationthe mansion of a marquis, the house of a common\n      citizen, the tenement of a laborer, the barracks of a soldier, the kibbutz\n      of a socialist, and even the camp of savages. Each claimed that his was\n      \"the true habitation for Man, the only one in which a sensible person\n      could live.\" In my opinion, the argument was weak; personal taste could\n      not be valid for everyone. It seemed to me that a house should not be\n      built for the architect alone, or for itself, but for the owner who was to\n      live in it. Referring to the owner for his advice, that is submitting to\n      the French people the plans of its future habitation, would evidently be\n      either for show or just to deceive them; since the question, obviously,\n      was put in such a manner that it provided the answer in advance. Besides,\n      had the people been allowed to reply in all liberty, their response was in\n      any case not of much value since France was scarcely more competent than I\n      was; the combined ignorance of ten millions is not the equivalent of one\n      man's wisdom. A people may be consulted and, in an extreme case, may\n      declare what form of government it would like best, but not that which it\n      most needs. Nothing but experience can determine this; it must have time\n      to ascertain whether the political structure is convenient, substantial,\n      able to withstand inclemency, and adapted to customs, habits, occupations,\n      characters, peculiarities and caprices. For example, the one we have tried\n      has never satisfied us; we have during eighty years demolished it thirteen\n      times, each time setting it up anew, and always in vain, for never have we\n      found one that suited us. If other nations have been more fortunate, or if\n      various political structures abroad have proved stable and enduring, it is\n      because these have been erected in a special way. Founded on some\n      primitive, massive pile, supported by an old central edifice, often\n      restored but always preserved, gradually enlarged, and, after numerous\n      trials and additions, they have been adapted to the wants of its\n      occupants. It is well to admit, perhaps, that there is no other way of\n      erecting a permanent building. Never has one been put up instantaneously,\n      after an entirely new design, and according to the measurements of pure\n      Reason. A sudden contrivance of a new, suitable, and enduring constitution\n      is an enterprise beyond the forces of the human mind.\n    \n\n      In any event, I came to the conclusion that if we should ever discover the\n      one we need it would not be through some fashionable theory. The point is,\n      if it exists, to discover it, and not to put it to a vote. To do that\n      would not only be pretentious it would be useless; history and nature will\n      do it for us; it is for us to adapt ourselves to them, as it is certain\n      they will not accommodate themselves to us. The social and political mold,\n      into which a nation may enter and remain, is not subject to its will, but\n      determined by its character and its past. It is essential that, even in\n      its least traits, it should be shaped on the living material to which it\n      is applied; otherwise it will burst and fall to pieces. Hence, if we\n      should succeed in finding ours, it will only be through a study of\n      ourselves, while the more we understand exactly what we are, the more\n      certainly shall we distinguish what best suits us. We ought, therefore, to\n      reverse the ordinary methods, and form some conception of the nation\n      before formulating its constitution. Doubtless the first operation is much\n      more tedious and difficult than the second. How much time, how much study,\n      how many observations rectified one by the other, how many researches in\n      the past and the present, over all the domains of thought and of action,\n      what manifold and age-long labors before we can obtain an accurate and\n      complete idea of a great people. A people which has lived a people's age,\n      and which still lives! But it is the only way to avoid the unsound\n      construction based on a meaningless planning. I promised myself that, for\n      my own part, if I should some day undertake to form a political opinion,\n      it would be only after having studied France.\n    \n\n      What is contemporary France? To answer this question we must know how this\n      France is formed, or, what is still better, to act as spectator at its\n      formation. At the end of the last century (in 1789), like a molting\n      insect, it underwent a metamorphosis. Its ancient organization is\n      dissolved; it tears away its most precious tissues and falls into\n      convulsions, which seem mortal. Then, after multiplied throes and a\n      painful lethargy, it re-establishes itself. But its organization is no\n      longer the same: by silent interior travail a new being is substituted for\n      the old. In 1808, its leading characteristics are decreed and defined:\n      departments, arondissements, cantons and communes, no change have since\n      taken place in its exterior divisions and functions. Concordat, Code,\n      Tribunals, University, Institute, Prefects, Council of State, Taxes,\n      Collectors, Cours des Comptes, a uniform and centralized administration,\n      its principal organs, are still the same. Nobility, commoners, artisans,\n      peasants, each class has henceforth the position, the sentiments, the\n      traditions which we see at the present day (1875). Thus the new creature\n      is at once stable and complete; consequently its structure, its instincts\n      and its faculties mark in advance the circle within which its thought and\n      its action will be stimulated. Around it, other nations, some more\n      advanced, others less developed, all with greater caution, some with\n      better results, attempt similarly a transformation from a feudal to a\n      modern state; the process takes place everywhere and all but\n      simultaneously. But, under this new system as beneath the ancient, the\n      weak is always the prey of the strong. Woe to those (nations) whose\n      retarded evolution exposes them to the neighbor suddenly emancipated from\n      his chrysalis state, and is the first to go forth fully armed! Woe\n      likewise to him whose too violent and too abrupt evolution has badly\n      balanced his internal economy. Who, through the exaggeration of his\n      governing forces, through the deterioration of his deep-seated organs,\n      through the gradual impoverishment of his vital tissues is condemned to\n      commit inconsiderate acts, to debility, to impotency, amidst sounder and\n      better-balanced neighbors! In the organization, which France effected for\n      herself at the beginning of the (19th) century, all the general lines of\n      her contemporary history were traced. Her political revolutions, social\n      Utopias, division of classes, role of the church, conduct of the nobility,\n      of the middle class, and of the people, the development, the direction, or\n      deviation of philosophy, of letters and of the arts. That is why, should\n      we wish to understand our present condition our attention always reverts\n      to the terrible and fruitful crisis by which the ancient regime produced\n      the Revolution, and the Revolution the new regime.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2577 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Rom, Svend [Annotator] \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 22, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributor (Author)\u003c\/b\u003e: Taine, Hippolyte, 1828-1893 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Durand, John, 1822-1908 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Rom, Svend [Annotator] \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212265750685,"sku":"gb-2577-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2577_72d5912e-31b3-4a79-8d5a-c53a51249f4e.jpg?v=1671253678"},{"product_id":"the-modern-regime-volume-1-gb-2581","title":"The Modern Regime, Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Modern Regime, Volume 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      Neither lips nor heart are capable of pronouncing the above invigorating\n      and conclusive phrase after a silence of 30 years. That local society\n      ought to be a private association, does not interest those who are\n      concerned, while the legislator does not permit it. Indeed, after the year\n      VIII (1799), the State (Napoleon) introduces into the machine the new\n      motivation described above. After the revolution of 1830,4201\n      the municipal and general councilors become elective and are appointed by\n      a limited suffrage; after the revolution of 1848, they are elected by\n      universal suffrage.4202 After the revolution of\n      1870,4203\n      each municipal council elects its own mayor, while the council-general,\n      whose powers are enlarged, leaves in its place, during its vacations, a\n      standing committee who arrange with, and govern along with, the prefect.\n      Here, in local society, is a superadded internal motor, working from\n      below, whilst the first one is external and works from above; from now on,\n      both are to work together and in accord.But, in reality, the second\n      (the council-general) remains subordinate; moreover, it does not suit the\n      machine4204 and the machine does not\n      suit it; it is only a superfluity, an inconvenient and cumbersome\n      intruder, nearly always useless, and often mischievous. Its influence is\n      feeble and of little effect; too many brakes are attached to it; its force\n      diminishes through the complexity of its numerous wheels; it fails in\n      giving action; it cannot but little more than impede or moderate other\n      impulses, those of the external motor, sometimes as it should, and\n      sometimes the contrary. Most frequently, even nowadays (1889), it is of no\n      efficiency whatever. Three-quarters of the municipal councils, for\n      three-fourths of their business, hold sessions only to give signatures.\n      Their pretended deliberations are simply a parade formality; the incentive\n      and direction continue to come from without, and from above; under the\n      third Republic, as under the Restoration and the first Empire, it is\n      always the central State which governs the local society; amid all the\n      wrangling and disputes, in spite of passing conflicts it is, and remains,\n      the initiator, mover, leader, controller, accountant, and executor of\n      every undertaking, the preponderating power in the department as well as\n      in the commune, and with what deplorable results we all know.There\n      is still another and more serious result. Nowadays, its interference is an\n      advantage, for should it renounce its preponderance this would pass over\n      to the other power which, since this has become vested in a numerical\n      majority, is mere blind and brutal force; abandoned to itself and without\n      any counter-weight, its ascendancy would be disastrous, we would see\n      reappearing along with the blunders of 1789, the outrages, usurpations,\n      and distress of 1790, 1791 and 1792.4205In\n      any event, there is this advantage in despotic centralization, that it\n      still preserves us from democratic autonomy.

This study\n      completed, this last step taken, he was about to reach the summit. He was\n      about to view France as a whole, to comprehend it no longer through a\n      detail of its organs, in a state of formation, but its actual existence;\n      no longer isolated, but plunged, along with other occidental nations, into\n      the modern milieu, experiencing with them the effects of one general cause\n      which changed the physical and intellectual condition of men; which\n      dissolved sentiments formerly grouping them together, more or less capable\n      at length of adapting themselves to new circumstances and of organizing\n      according to a new type suited to the coming age that now opens before us.\n    \n\n      Only a part of this last volume was written, that which relates to the\n      Church and to public instruction. Death intervened and suddenly arrested\n      the pen. M. Taine, at this moment, was about completing his analysis of\n      subordinate societies in France.For those who have followed him\n      thus far it is already clear that the great defect of the French community\n      is the fragmentation of the individuals, who isolated, dwindling, and\n      prostrate at the feet of the all-powerful State, who, due to remote\n      historical causes, and yet more so by modern legislation, have been made\n      incapable of \"spontaneously grouping around a common interest.\" Very\n      probablyand of this we may judge by two sketches of a plan,\n      undoubtedly provisional, but the ideas of which were long settled in his\n      mindM. Taine would have first described this legislation and\n      defined its principles and general characteristics. He meant to show it\n      more and more systematic, deliberately hostile to collective enterprise,\n      considering secondary bodies not as \"distinct, special organs,\" endowed\n      with a life of their own, \"maintained and stimulated by private\n      initiation,\" but as agents of the State \"which fashions them after a\n      common pattern, imposes on them their form and prescribes their work.\"This\n      done, this defect pointed out, the author was to enumerate the\n      consequences flowing from it, the social body entirely changed, \"not only\n      in its proportions but in its innermost texture,\" every tendency weakened\n      by which individuals form groups that are to last longer than themselves,\n      each man reduced to his own self, the egoistic instinct enhanced while the\n      social instinct wastes away for want of nourishment, his daily imagination\n      solely concerned with life-long aims, incapacitated for politics as he is\n      \"lacking spheres of action in which he may train himself according to his\n      experiences and faculties\", his mind weakening in idleness and boredom or\n      in a thirst for pleasure and personal success,in short, an organic\n      impoverishment of all faculties of cohesion, leading to the destruction of\n      the natural centers of grouping and, consequently, to political\n      instability.5102\n\n\n      One association of special import remains, the most spontaneous, the\n      deepest rooted, so old that all others derive from it, so essential that\n      in any attack upon it we see even the substance of the social body\n      decaying and diminishing. On the nature of the Family; on its profound\n      physiological origins; on its necessary role in the prolongation and\n      \"perpetuation of the individual\" by affording him \"the sole remedy for\n      death\"; on its primitive constitution among men of our own race; on its\n      historic organization and development \"around the family home\"; on the\n      necessity of its subsistence and continuance in order to insure the\n      duration of this home; on its other needs, M. Taine, with his knowledge of\n      man and of his history, had given a good deal of thought to fundamental\n      ideas analogous to those which he has consecrated to the classic spirit,\n      to the origin of honor and conscience, to the essence of local society, so\n      many stones, as it were, shaped by him from time to time and deeply\n      implanted as the foundations of his criticism of institutions. Having set\n      forth the proper character and permanent wants of the Family he was able\n      to study the legislation affecting it, and, first, \"the Jacobin laws on\n      marriage, divorce, paternal authority and on the compulsory public\n      education of children; next, the Napoleonic laws, those which still govern\n      us, the Civil Code\" with that portion of it in which the equality and\n      leveling spirit is preserved, along with \"its tendency to regard property\n      as a means of enjoyment\" instead of the starting-point and support of \"an\n      enduring institution.\"Having exposed the system, M. Taine meant to\n      consider its effects, those of surrounding institutions, and to describe\n      the French family as it now exists. He had first studied the \"tendency to\n      marriage\"; he had considered the motives which, in general, weaken or\n      fortify it, and appreciated those now absent and now active in France.\n      According to him, \"the healthy ideal of every young man is to found a\n      family, a house of infinite duration, to create and to rule.\" Why in\n      modern France does he give his thoughts to \"pleasure and of excelling in\n      his career\"? Why does he regard marriage \"without enthusiasm, as a last\n      measure, as a 'settling-down,' and not as a beginning, the commencement of\n      a veritable career, subordinating all others to it and regarding these,\n      pecuniary and professional, as auxiliary and as means?\"After the\n      tendency to marriage, \"the tendency to paternity.\" How does the shrunken\n      family come to live only for itself? In what way, in default of other\n      interests,homestead, domain, workshop, lasting local undertakings,how\n      does the heart, now deprived of its food by the lack of invisible\n      posterity, fall back on affection for visible progeny?5103\n      In a country where there are few openings, where careers are overcrowded,\n      what are the effects of this paid idolatry5104,\n      and, to sum up in one phrase, in what way does the French system of to-day\n      tend to develop the most fatal of results, the decline in the birth rate?\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 2582 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Rom, Svend [Annotator] \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 22, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributor (Author)\u003c\/b\u003e: Taine, Hippolyte, 1828-1893 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Durand, John, 1822-1908 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Rom, Svend [Annotator] \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212266045597,"sku":"gb-2582-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/2582_191d5c29-8632-4545-9b5d-9b48477f0cc6.jpg?v=1671253689"},{"product_id":"mont-saint-michel-and-chartres-gb-4584","title":"Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMont-Saint-Michel and Chartres\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis header should be the first thing seen when anyone starts to\r\nview the eBook.

So vast and intricate the subject that the united labour\r\nof a generation of scholars could not exhaust it, and so difficult\r\nthat the number of scholars willing to devote their time to it must\r\nalways be small.

Its early struggles simply arrest\r\nthe attention, and excite the jealousy, of the neighboring nations. The\r\ncitizens of this little state are warriors, and, either for defense or\r\nglory, they subdue one after another the cities of Latium and Etruria,\r\nthen the whole of Italy, and finally the old monarchies and empires of\r\nthe world. In two hundred and fifty years the citizens have become\r\nnobles, and a great aristocracy is founded, which lasts eight hundred\r\nyears. Their aggressive policy and unbounded ambition involve the whole\r\nworld in war, which does not cease until all the nations known to the\r\nGreeks acknowledge their sway. Everywhere Roman laws, language, and\r\ninstitutions spread. A vast empire arises, larger than the Assyrian and\r\nthe Macedonian combined,a universal empire,a great wonder and\r\nmystery, having all the grandeur of a providential event. It becomes too\r\ngreat to be governed by an oligarchy of nobles. Civil wars create an\r\nimperator, who, uniting in himself all the great offices of state, and\r\nsustained by the conquering legions, rules from East to West and from\r\nNorth to South, with absolute and undivided sovereignty. The Caesars\r\nreach the summit of human greatness and power, and the city of Romulus\r\nbecomes the haughty mistress of the world. The emperor is worshiped as a\r\ndeity, and the proud metropolis calls herself eternal. An empire is\r\nestablished by force of arms and by a uniform policy, such as this world\r\nhas not seen before or since.\nEarly Roman history is chiefly the detail of successful wars, aggressive\r\nand uncompromising, in which we see a fierce and selfish patriotism, an\r\nindomitable will, a hard unpitying temper, great practical sagacity,\r\npatience, and perseverance, superiority to adverse fortune, faith in\r\nnational destinies, heroic sentiments, and grand ambition. We see a\r\nnation of citizen soldiers, an iron race of conquerors, bent on\r\nconquest, on glory, on self-exaltation, attaching but little value to\r\nthe individual man, but exalting the integrity and unity of the state.\r\nWe see no fitful policy, no abandonment to the enjoyment of the fruits\r\nof victory, no rest, no repose, no love of art or literature, but an\r\nunbounded passion for domination. The Romans toiled, and suffered, and\r\ndied,never wearied, never discouraged, never satisfied, until their\r\nmission was accomplished and the world lay bleeding and prostrate at\r\ntheir feet.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 6839 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Lord, John \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Lord, John,1810-1894 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43215375663261,"sku":"gb-6839-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/6839.jpg?v=1671285272"},{"product_id":"the-mind-in-the-making-the-relation-of-intelligence-to-social-reform-gb-8077","title":"The Mind in the Making: The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Mind in the Making: The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor of \"PETRARCH, THE FIRST MODERN SCHOLAR\"\r\n            \"MEDIAEVAL AND MODERN TIMES\"\r\n            \"THE NEW HISTORY\", ETC.\n       *       *       *       *       *\nThis is an essaynot a treatiseon the most important of all matters\r\nof human concern.

Hence there came to us\r\nthe thought of placing on record, in an accessible, comprehensive, and\r\npermanent form, an outline of the whole range of Irish achievement\r\nduring the last two thousand years.\nIn undertaking this task we had a twofold motive. In the first\r\nplace, we wished to give to people of Irish birth or descent\r\nsubstantial reason for that pride of race which we know is in them, by\r\nplacing in their hands an authoritative and unassailable array of\r\nfacts as telling as any nation in the world can show. Our second\r\nmotive was that henceforward he who seeks to ignore or belittle the\r\npart taken by men and women of Irish birth or blood in promoting the\r\nspread of religion, civilization, education, culture, and freedom\r\nshould sin, not in ignorance, but against the light, and that from a\r\nthousand quarters at once champions armed with the panoply of\r\nknowledge should be able to spring to his confutation.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 12111 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Dunn, Joseph \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Dunn, Joseph, 1872-1951 , Lennox, P.

The style adopted has therefore been the\r\nopposite of the pedantic, utilizing any vivacities of method which are\r\nconsistent with truth of fact.\" The same principles have guided me in\r\nthe present equally unpretentious treatise. I agree entirely with Mr.\r\nWarde Fowler when he says: \"I firmly believe that the one great hope\r\nfor classical learning and education lies in the interest which the\r\nunlearned public may be brought to feel in ancient life and thought.\"\nFor the general reader there is perhaps no period in the history of\r\nthe ancient world which is more interesting than the one here chosen.\r\nYet, so far as I know, there exists no sufficiently popular work\r\ndealing with this period alone and presenting in moderate compass a\r\nclear general view of the matters of most moment. My endeavour has\r\nbeen to represent as faithfully as possible the Age of Nero, and\r\nnowhere in the book is it implied that what is true for that age is\r\nnecessarily as true for any other. The reader who is not a special\r\nstudent of history or antiquities is perhaps as often confused by\r\ndescriptions of ancient life which cover too many generations as by\r\nthoseoften otherwise excellentwhich include too much detail.\nI have necessarily consulted not only the Latin and Greek writers who\r\nthrow light upon the time, but also all the best-known Standard works\r\nof modern date. It is perhaps scarcely necessary to state that in\r\nmatters of contemporary government, administration, and public life my\r\nguides have been chiefly Mommsen, Arnold, and Greenidge; for social\r\nlife Marquardt, Friedlnder, and Becker-Gll; for topography and\r\nbuildings Jordan, Hlsen, Lanciani, and Middleton; nor that the\r\nDictionaries of Smith and of Daremberg and Saglio have been always at\r\nhand, as well as Baumeister's Denkmler, and Guhl and Koner's Life\r\nof the Greeks and Romans. The admirable Pompeii of Mau-Kelsey has\r\nbeen, of course, indispensable. I have also derived profit from the\r\nwritings of Prof. Sir W. M. Ramsay in connexion with St. Paul, and\r\nfrom Conybeare and Howson's Life and Epistles of the Apostle. Useful\r\nhints have been found in Mr. Warde Fowler's Social Life in Rome in\r\nthe Age of Cicero, and in Prof. Dill's Roman_ Society from Nero to\r\nMarcus Aurelius_. A personal study of ancient sites, monuments, and\r\nobjects of antiquity at Rome, Pompeii, and elsewhere has naturally\r\nbeen of prime value. Those intimately acquainted with the immense\r\namount of the available material will best realize the difficulty\r\nthere has been in deciding how much to say and how much to \"leave in\r\nthe inkstand.\"\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 12875 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Tucker, T.

It was as a member of\r\nthis unit and as chauffeuse in the devastated regions that the writer\r\nreceived the impressions set forth in these sketches.\nA returning flush upon the plain. Streaks of color across a mangled\r\nlandscape: the gentle concealment of shell hole and trench. This is what\r\none saw, even in the summer of 1919. For the sap was running, and a new\r\ninvasion was occurring. Legions of tender blades pushed over the haggard\r\nNo Man's Land, while reckless poppies scattered through the ranks of\r\ngreen, to be followed by the shyer starry sisters in blue and white.\r\nIrrepressibly these floral throngs advanced over the shell torn spaces,\r\ncrowding, mingling and bending together in a rainbow riot beneath the\r\nwinds that blew them. They were the vanguard.\nIn the midst of the reviving fields lay Noyon: Noyon, that gem of the\r\nOise, whose delicate outline of spires and soft tinted roofs had graced\r\nthe wide valley for centuries. Today the little city lay blanched and\r\nshapeless between the hills, as all towns were left that stood in the\r\npath of the armies. The cathedral alone reared its battered bulk in the\r\nmidst; a resisting pile, its two grim and blunted towers frowning into\r\nthe sky. Nobly Gothic through all the shattering, the great church rose\r\nout of the wreckage, with flying buttresses still outspread like\r\nbrooding wings to the dead houses that had sunk about her.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 13048 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Shortall, Katherine \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 29, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Shortall, Katherine \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216375480477,"sku":"gb-13048-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/13048.jpg?v=1671349132"},{"product_id":"as-farpas-chronica-mensal-da-politica-das-letras-e-dos-costumes-1878-01-gb-13092","title":"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1878-01)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1878-01)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n    Ironia, verdadeira liberdade! s tu que me livras da ambio do poder,\r\n    da escravido dos partidos, da venerao da rotina, do pedantismo das\r\n    sciencias, da admirao das grandes personagens, das mystificaes da\r\n    politica, do fanatismo dos reformadores, da superstio d'este grande\r\n    universo, e da adorao de mim mesmo.\r\n\n\r\n    A romagem dos mortos.\r\n    Raspail,\r\n    Courbet,\r\n    Victor Manuel,\r\n    Jos de Alencar,\r\n    Augusto Soromenho.A\r\n    senhora portuense e as Farpas.\r\n    O libello d'aquella dama.\r\n    A nossa resposta.

Of these\r\nessays only one, \"The Precursors\", had been written out in full\r\nbefore she died; and it has now been added to the present edition.\r\nIn its published form it is not in every respect identical with the\r\nauthor's original text.\nThe essay was taking shape as Munich came and went and as the\r\nwar itself was drawing near. No historian writing at that time\r\nabout Rome menaced by the barbarians--and least of all an historian\r\nas sensitive to the extra-mural world as Eileen Power was--could\r\nhave helped noting the similarities between the Roman Empire in the\r\nfifth or sixth centuries and Europe in the nineteen-thirties. In\r\nthe end, having finished the essay, she decided to withold it from\r\npublication for the time being and to present it instead to a\r\nfriendly audience as a tract for the times. This she did at a\r\nmeeting of the Cambridge History Club in the winter of 1938: and\r\nfor that occasion she replaced the opening and concluding pages of\r\nthe original essay with passages, or rather notes for passages,\r\nmore suited to the purpose.\nI am sure that she never intended these passages to be\r\nperpetuated in her Medieval People and I have therefore done\r\nwhat I could to replace them with a reconstructed version of her\r\nfirst draft. The reconstruction had to be done from somewhat\r\ndisjointed notes and cannot therefore be word-faithful.

Two world-views, two types of civilization met in\n    deadly conflict, and the inherent weakness of isolated,\n    belated, superstitious and corrupt paganism was revealed.\n    Moreover, during this, China's crisis, Japan for the first time\n    stepped out upon the world's stage of political and military\n    activity. She was recognized as a civilized nation, worthy to\n    share with the great nations of the earth the responsibility of\n    ruling the lawless and backward races.\nThe correctness of any interpretation as to the significance\n    of this conflict between the opposing civilizations turns,\n    ultimately, on the question as to what is the real nature of\n    man and of society. If it be true, as maintained by Prof. Le\n    Bon and his school, that the mental and moral character of a\n    people is as fixed as its physiological characteristics, then\n    the conflict in China is at bottom a conflict of races, not of\n    civilizations.\nThe inadequacy of the physiological theory of national\n    character may be seen almost at a glance by a look at Japan.\n    Were an Oriental necessarily and unchangeably Oriental, it\n    would have been impossible for Japan to have come into such\n    close and sympathetic touch with the West.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 13831 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Gulick, Sidney Lewis \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 22, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Gulick, Sidney Lewis,1860-1945 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216431972509,"sku":"gb-13831-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/13831.jpg?v=1671352337"},{"product_id":"the-problem-of-china-gb-13940","title":"The Problem of China","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Problem of China\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ruler of the Southern Ocean was Sh (Heedless), the Ruler of\r\n     the Northern Ocean was H (Sudden), and the Ruler of the Centre\r\n     was Chaos. Sh and H were continually meeting in the land of\r\n     Chaos, who treated them very well. They consulted together how\r\n     they might repay his kindness, and said, \"Men all have seven\r\n     orifices for the purpose of seeing, hearing, eating, and\r\n     breathing, while this poor Ruler alone has not one.

As \"Alexander Robertson\" lecturer in the University of Glasgow,\r\nthe writer dealt with the new religious ideas that have been impressing\r\nthemselves upon India during the British period of her history. As\r\n\"Gunning\" lecturer in the University of Edinburgh, the writer dwelt more\r\nupon the new social and political ideas. The popular belief of Hindu India\r\nis, that there are no new ideas in India, that nought in India suffers\r\nchange, and that as things are, so they have always been. Even educated\r\nIndians are reluctant to admit that things have changed and that their\r\ncommunity has had to submit to education and improvementthat\r\nsuttee, for example, was ever an honoured institution in the province now\r\nmost advanced. But to the observant student of the Indian people, the \r\nevolution of India is almost as noteworthy as the more apparent\r\nrigidity. There is a flowering plant common in Northern India, and chiefly\r\nnotable for the marvel of bearing flowers of different colours upon the\r\nsame root. The Hindus call it \"the sport of Krishna\"; Mahomedans, \"the\r\nflower of Abbas\"; for the plant is now incorporate with both the great\r\nreligions of India, and even with their far-back beginnings. Yet it is a\r\ncomparatively recent importation into India; it is only the flower known\r\nin Britain as \"the marvel of Peru,\" and cannot have been introduced into\r\nIndia more than three hundred years ago. It was then that the Portuguese\r\nof India and the Spaniards of Peru were first in touch within the home\r\nlands in Europe. In our own day may be seen the potato and the cauliflower\r\nfrom Europe establishing themselves upon the dietary of Hindus in defiance\r\nof the punctiliously orthodox.  fortioristrange that\r\nwe should reason thus from the trifling to the fundamental, yet not\r\nstrange to the Anglo-Indian and the Indian,\r\nfortiori, we shall not be surprised to find novel and alien ideas\r\ntaking root in Indian soil.\nSeeds, we are told, may be transported to a new soil, either wind-borne\r\nor water-borne, carried in the stomachs of birds, or clinging by their\r\nburs to the fur of animals. In the cocoa-nut, botanists point out, the\r\ncocoa-nut palms possess a most serviceable ark wherein the seed may be\r\nfloated in safety over the sea to other shores. It is thus that the\r\ncocoa-nut palm is one of the first of the larger plants to show themselves\r\nupon a new coral reef or a bare volcano-born island. Into India itself, it\r\nis declared, the cocoa-nut tree has thus come over-sea, nor is yet found\r\ngrowing freely much farther than seventy miles from the shore. One of the\r\nchief interests of the subject before us is that the seeds of the new\r\nideas in India during the past century are so clearly water-borne. They\r\nare the outcome of British influence, direct or indirect.\nHere are true test and evidence of the character of British influence\r\nand effort, if we can distil from modern India some of the new ideas\r\nprevailing, particularly in the new middle class. Where shall we find\r\nevidence reliable of what British influence has been? Government Reports,\r\nlargely statistical, of \"The Moral and Material Progress of India,\" are so\r\nfar serviceable, but only as crude material from which the answer\r\nis to be distilled. Members of the Indian Civil Service, and others\r\nbelonging to the British Government of India, may volunteer as expert\r\nwitnesses regarding British influence, but they are interested parties;\r\nthey really stand with others at the bar. The testimony of the missionary\r\nis not infrequently heard, less exactly informed, perhaps, than the Civil\r\nServant's, but more sympathetic, and affording better testimony where\r\npersonal acquaintance with the life of the people is needed. But of him\r\ntoo, like the Civil Servant, there is some suspicion that in one sphere he\r\nholds a brief. This, indeed, may be said in favour of the missionary's\r\ntestimony, that while the Anglo-Indian identifies the missionary's\r\nstandpoint with that of the native, the native identifies him with the\r\nAnglo-Indian, so that probably enough he occupies the mean of impartiality\r\nand truth. The British merchant in India may also offer as evidence, and\r\nindeed is \"on the spot,\" and apparently qualified by reason of his\r\nindependence. But the interest of his class is professedly limited to\r\nIndia's material progress; and of his general views, we recall what\r\nChaucer said of the politics of his \"merchant,\"\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 14294 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Morrison, John \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 7, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Morrison, John,1856- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217153228957,"sku":"gb-14294-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/14294.jpg?v=1671417289"},{"product_id":"as-farpas-chronica-mensal-da-politica-das-letras-e-dos-costumes-1882-11-12-gb-14296","title":"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1882-11\/12)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1882-11\/12)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n    Ironia, verdadeira liberdade! s tu que me livras da ambio do poder,\r\n    da escravido dos partidos da venerao da rotina, do pedantismo das\r\n    sciencias, da admirao das grandes personagens, das mystificaes da\r\n    politica, do fanatismo dos reformadores, da superstio d'este grande\r\n    universo, e da adorao de mim mesmo.\r\n\n\r\n    Congressos catholicos e ideias clericaesAnjos e reprobosAs\r\n    influencias e eclesiasticas na sociedade portuguezaA egreja e as\r\n    mulheresOs nossos padres, padre de misses, padre d'aldeia e padre de\r\n    salaOs clubs e as sacristiasO jogo, a batota, o rei dos lusos e o\r\n    rei de copas, a rusga, a\r\nvaccaDoutor Jardim, sabio, e Rosalia, dama\r\n    illustreNovas applicaes da mobilia  critica litterariaA moderna\r\n    arte portugueza e as\r\nescamas da corvinaO jornalismo em BragaO\r\n    partido legitimista e a bandeira branca de Senna FreitasSampaio o\r\nSaraiva de CarvalhoA\r\n    augusta princeza anjo da caridade e do\r\nbric--bracTragico fim de um\r\ngato d'esse anjoFausto e jocundo\r\n    desacato de s.ex. o ministro da justia por s.em. o nuncio de sua\r\n    SantidadeA urna e a\r\ncorveta StephaniaOs commendadores e os ces de\r\n    faiana-Milagrosa reappario de\r\nNossa Senhora Apparecida.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 14296 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Ortigão, Ramalho \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 26, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: Portuguese \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Ortigão, Ramalho, 1836-1915 , Queirós, Eça de, 1845-1900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Ortigão, Ramalho,1836-1915 \/ eBook \/ Portuguese","offer_id":43217153360029,"sku":"gb-14296-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/14296.jpg?v=1671417296"},{"product_id":"as-farpas-chronica-mensal-da-politica-das-letras-e-dos-costumes-1873-01-02-gb-14620","title":"As Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1873-01\/02)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs Farpas: Chronica Mensal da Politica, das Letras e dos Costumes (1873-01\/02)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nIronia, verdadeira liberdade! s tu que me livras da ambio do poder,\r\nda escravido dos partidos, da venerao da rotina, do pedantismo das\r\nsciencias, da admirao das grandes personagens, das mystificaes da\r\npolitica, do fanatismo dos reformadores, da superstio d'este grande\r\nuniverso, e da adorao de mim mesmo.\r\n\n\r\n    As idas no parlamento e a immobilidade egypcia.

The general purpose of the course will be apparent from the\r\nessays themselves. No forced or mechanical uniformity of view was aimed\r\nat. The writers will be found, very naturally and properly, to differ in\r\ndetail and in the stress they lay on different aspects of the case. But\r\nthey agree in thinking that while our country's cause and the cause of\r\nour Allies is just and necessary and must be prosecuted with the utmost\r\nvigour, it is not inopportune to reflect on those common and\r\nineradicable elements in the civilization of the West which tend to form\r\na real commonwealth of nations and will survive even the most shattering\r\nof conflicts. That we on the Allied side stand fundamentally for this\r\nideal is one of our most valuable assets.\nThe fact that the lectures were delivered at a settlement for training\r\npersons for social work in a religious spirit, suggested to more than\r\none of those who took part in the course, how similar is the task which\r\nnow lies before us in international affairs to that which Canon Barnett\r\ninitiated thirty years ago for the treatment of the social question at\r\nhome. We need in both cases to associate ourselves mentally with others\r\nin order to realize the common elements which underlie the seeming\r\ndiversity in the civilization of the West.\nThe method of the course was primarily historical, though certain essays\r\nhave been added of a more idealist type. It is hoped that the point of\r\nview suggested, though prompted by current events, may be found to have\r\nsome permanent value. It could obviously be applied to many other\r\naspects of European life, e.g. morality and politics, to which\r\nconditions of space have only permitted indirect reference to be made in\r\nthis volume.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 15030 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Marvin, Francis Sydney \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 12, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Marvin, Francis Sydney, 1863-1943 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Marvin, Francis Sydney,1863-1943 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217218601117,"sku":"gb-15030-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/15030.jpg?v=1671420225"},{"product_id":"recent-developments-in-european-thought-gb-15084","title":"Recent Developments in European Thought","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecent Developments in European Thought\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume, like its two predecessors, arises from a course of lectures\r\ndelivered at a Summer School at Woodbrooke, near Birmingham, in August,\r\n1919. The first, in 1915, dealt with 'The Unity of Western Civilization'\r\ngenerally, the second, in 1916, with 'Progress'. In this book an attempt\r\nhas been made to trace the same ideas in the last period of European\r\nhistory, broadly speaking since 1870.\nIt was felt at the conclusion of the course that the point of view was\r\nso enlightening and offered so many opportunities of useful further\r\nstudy that it should, if possible, be resumed in future years. A large\r\nnumber of subjects were suggested'The Relations of East and West,'\r\n'The Duty of Advanced to Backward Peoples,' 'The Rle of Science in\r\nCivilization,' \u0026amp;c.all containing the same elements of 'progress in\r\nunity' which have inspired the previous volumes. It was thought that\r\npossibly for the next session 'World Reconstructions Past and Present'\r\nmight be most appropriate.\nIf any reader feels moved by interest or sympathy with the general idea\r\nto send suggestions, either as to possible places of meeting, or topics\r\nfor treatment or any other kindred matter, they would be welcomed either\r\nby the Editor or by Edwin Gilbert, Woodbrooke, Selly Oak, Birmingham.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 15084 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Marvin, Francis Sydney \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 16, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Marvin, Francis Sydney, 1863-1943 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Marvin, Francis Sydney,1863-1943 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217223876765,"sku":"gb-15084-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/15084.jpg?v=1671420437"},{"product_id":"kansallista-itsetutkistelua-suomalaisia-kulttuuri-aariviivoja-gb-15440","title":"Kansallista itsetutkistelua: Suomalaisia kulttuuri-ääriviivoja","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKansallista itsetutkistelua: Suomalaisia kulttuuri-ääriviivoja\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTten lasken julkisuuteen teoksen, jonka alkuainekset\r\njo ehk pari vuosikymment ovat kehilleet\r\nmielessni.

Hoe ijverig heeft men in de middeleeuwsche beschaving naar de\r\nkiemen der moderne cultuur gespeurd; zoo ijverig, dat het soms schijnen\r\nmoest, alsof de geestesgeschiedenis der Middeleeuwen nauwelijks iets\r\nanders was geweest dan de advent der Renaissance. Immers, overal zag men\r\nin die tijden, die eenmaal als star en doodsch gegolden hadden, het\r\nnieuwe reeds ontspruiten, en alles scheen te wijzen naar toekomstige\r\nvolmaking. Doch bij het zoeken naar het nieuwe leven, dat opkwam, vergat\r\nmen licht, dat in de geschiedenis als in de natuur het sterven en het\r\ngeboren worden eeuwig gelijken tred houden. Oude beschavingsvormen\r\nsterven af terzelfdertijd en op denzelfden bodem, waarin het nieuwe\r\nvoedsel vindt om op te bloeien.\nHier is beproefd om de veertiende en vijftiende eeuw te zien, niet als\r\nde aankondiging der Renaissance, maar als het einde der Middeleeuwen,\r\nde middeleeuwsche beschaving in haar laatste levensgetij, als een boom\r\nmet overrijpe vruchten, algeheel ontplooid en ontwikkeld. Het woekeren\r\nvan oude, dwingende denkvormen over de levende kern der gedachte, het\r\nverdorren en verstijven van een rijke beschaving,dat is de hoofdinhoud\r\nvan deze bladzijden. De blik is bij het schrijven van dit boek gericht\r\ngeweest als in de diepten van een avondhemel,maar van een hemel vol\r\nbloedig rood, zwaar en woest van dreigend loodgrijs, vol valschen\r\nkoperen schijn.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 16829 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Huizinga, Johan \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 8, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: Dutch \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Huizinga, Johan,1872-1945 \/ eBook \/ Dutch","offer_id":43217375068317,"sku":"gb-16829-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/16829.jpg?v=1671427274"},{"product_id":"history-of-egypt-chaldea-syria-babylonia-and-assyria-volume-2-of-12-gb-17322","title":"History of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria, Volume 2 (of 12)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHistory of Egypt, Chaldæa, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria, Volume 2 (of 12)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nThe cemeteries of Gizeh and Saqqra: the Great Sphinx; the mastabas,\r\n      their chapel and its decoration, the statues of the double, the sepulchral\r\n      vaultImportance of the wall-paintings and texts of the mastabas in\r\n      determining the history of the Memphite dynasties.\n\n\nThe king and the royal familyDouble nature and titles of the\r\n      sovereign: his Horus-names, and the progressive formation of the Pharaonic\r\n      ProtocolRoyal etiquette an actual divine worship; the insignia and\r\n      prophetic statues of Pharaoh, Pharaoh the mediator between the gods and\r\n      his subjectsPharaoh in family life; his amusements, his\r\n      occupations, his caresHis harem: the women, the queen, her origin,\r\n      her duties to the kingHis children: their position in the State;\r\n      rivalry among them during the old age and at the death of their father;\r\n      succession to the throne, consequent revolutions.\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17322 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Maspero, G.

In the time\r\n      when the gods were not created, not one as yet, when they had neither been\r\n      called by their names, nor had their destinies been assigned to them by\r\n      fate, gods manifested themselves. Lakhmu and Lakhamu were the first to\r\n      appear, and waxed great for ages; then Anshar and Kishar were produced\r\n      after them. Days were added to days, and years were heaped upon years:\r\n      Anu, Inlil, and Ea were born in their turn, for Anshar and Kishar had\r\n      given them birth. As the generations emanated one from the other, their\r\n      vitality increased, and the personality of each became more clearly\r\n      defined; the last generation included none but beings of an original\r\n      character and clearly marked individuality. Anu, the sunlit sky by day,\r\n      the starlit firmament by night; Inlil-Bel, the king of the earth; Ea, the\r\n      sovereign of the waters and the personification of wisdom.*** Each of them\r\n      duplicated himself, Anu into Anat, Bel into Belit, Ea into Damkina, and\r\n      united himself to the spouse whom he had deduced from himself. Other\r\n      divinities sprang from these fruitful pairs, and the impulse once given,\r\n      the world was rapidly peopled by their descendants. Sin, Shamash, and\r\n      Kamman, who presided respectively over the moon, the sun, and the air,\r\n      were all three of equal rank; next came the lords of the planets, Ninib,\r\n      Merodach, Nergal, the warrior-goddess Ishtar, and Nebo; then a whole army\r\n      of lesser deities, who ranged themselves around Anu as round a supreme\r\n      master. Timat, finding her domain becoming more and more restricted owing\r\n      to the activity of the others, desired to raise battalion against\r\n      battalion, and set herself to create unceasingly; but her offspring, made\r\n      in her own image, appeared like those incongruous phantoms which men see\r\n      in dreams, and which are made up of members borrowed from a score of\r\n      different animals. They appeared in the form of bulls with human heads, of\r\n      horses with the snouts of dogs, of dogs with quadruple bodies springing\r\n      from a single fish-like tail. Some of them had the beak of an eagle or a\r\n      hawk; others, four wings and two faces; others, the legs and horns of a\r\n      goat; others, again, the hind quarters of a horse and the whole body of a\r\n      man. Timat furnished them with terrible weapons, placed them under the\r\n      command of her husband Kingu, and set out to war against the gods.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17323 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Maspero, G.
