The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan and the Forgotten Colony that Shaped America
ISBN: 9780349140209 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) When the British wrested New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the truth about its thriving, polyglot society began to disappear into myths about an island purchased for 24 dollars and a cartoonish peg-legged governor. But the story of the Dutch colony of New Netherland was merely lost, not destroyed. Drawing on the archives of the New Netherland Project, Russell Shorto has created a gripping narrative that transforms our understanding of early America. The Dutch colony pre-dated the 'original' thirteen colonies, yet it seems strikingly familiar. Its capital was cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic,...

Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal City
ISBN: 9780349000022 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Amsterdam is not just any city. Despite its relative size it has stood alongside its larger cousins - Paris, London, Berlin - and has influenced the modern world to a degree that few other cities have. Sweeping across the city's colourful thousand year history, Amsterdam will bring the place to life: its sights and smells; its politics and people. Concentrating on two significant periods - the late 1500s to the mid 1600s and then from the Second World War to the present, Russell Shorto's masterful biography looks at Amsterdam's central preoccupations. Just as fin-de-siecle Vienna was the...

Descartes' Bones: A Skeletal History of the Conflict Between Faith and Reason
ISBN: 9780307275660 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Sixteen years after Rene Descartes' death in Stockholm in 1650, a pious French ambassador exhumed the remains of the controversial philosopher to transport them back to Paris. Thus began a 350-year saga that saw Descartes' bones traverse a continent, passing between kings, philosophers, poets, and painters. But as Russell Shorto shows in this deeply engaging book, Descartes' bones also played a role in some of the most momentous episodes in history, which are also part of the philosopher's metaphorical remains: the birth of science, the rise of democracy, and the earliest debates...
