From Revolutionary Theater to Reactionary Litanies: Gustave Hervé (1871-1944) at the Extremes of the French Third Republic
ISBN: 9781433131004 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 880 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Gustave Herve (1871 1944) seemed to have traditional Breton roots and a typical republican education. As a young socialist journalist and professor, he gained notoriety following a 1901 article which appeared to plant the tricolor in a dung pile. When French socialists unified in 1905, the Herveistes were an influential minority. The antimilitarist movement called Herveism gradually emerged as a quixotic crusade to unite revolutionaries against war and for socialism. Herve soon founded a weekly newspaper, La Guerre Sociale. Over the next six years, press campaigns, trials,...

The Policies and Politics of Pope Pius XII delves into the diplomacy of the most controversial pope of the twentieth century: Pius XII (pontificate, 1939-1958), -Advocate of Appeasement- to some and -Apostle of Peace- to others. Disagreement prevails on his quest for peace, recourse to impartiality during the Second World War, and relative public silence during the Holocaust. His abandonment of impartiality to play a prominent role in the Cold War has contributed to the charges and counter-charges leading to what has been deemed the -Pius War.- Unfortunately, a good deal of the...

Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII, is one of the most studied but least understood popes of the twentieth century while his pontificate remains the most turbulent and controversial. Although there is a general consensus that he faced serious problems during his tenure -- fascist aggression, the Second World War, the Nazi genocide of the Jews, the march of communism, and the Cold War -- there is disagreement on his response to these developments. Applauded by some as an apostle for peace for his attempt to prevent the outbreak of war, he has been denounced by others as an advocate of appeasement...

The outbreak of the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution at the turn of the nineteenth century transformed the world and ushered in the modern age, whose currents challenged the traditional political order and the prevailing religious establishment.

Politics, Patriotism and Language: Niccolò Machiavelli's «Secular Patria» and the Creation of an Italian National Identity
ISBN: 9780820472751 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Niccolo Machiavelli may not have been a cynical realist as he is often portrayed. On the contrary, this book argues that he precociously possessed the characteristics of an impassioned, sometimes misguided idealist, obsessed with the idea of Italian unification, but blinded to the practicalities of attaining that goal. William J. Landon suggests that these characteristics may help to explain his appeal to Italy s -Risorgimento- founders. This interdisciplinary volume, which also contains the first translation of a -Discourse or Dialogue Concerning our Language- since 1961, works well as a...

From the «Terror of the World» to the «Sick Man of Europe»: European Images of Ottoman Empire and Society from the Sixteenth Century to the Nineteenth
ISBN: 9780820451893 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. From the Terror of the World to the Sick Man of Europe sheds new light on the hotly debated issue of Orientalism by looking at the European images of the Ottoman Empire and society over three centuries. Through a careful examination of the European intellectual discourse, this book claims that there was no coherent and constant Europewide vision of the Turks until the eighteenth century and clearly demonstrates that the Age of Reason has not rendered reasonable images of the Turks. Indeed, once inspiring awe, the European opinion of Ottomans was held in contempt during this period.
