This inquiry...

Sparta in Modern Thought: Politics, History and Culture
ISBN: 9781905125470 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 462 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Images of ancient Sparta have had a major impact on Western thought. From the Renaissance to the French Revolution she was invoked by radical thinkers as a model for the creation of a republican political and social order. Since the 19th century she has typically been viewed as the opposite of advanced liberal and industrial democracies: a forerunner of 20th-century totalitarian and militaristic regimes such as the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. Yet positive images of Sparta remain embedded in contemporary popular media and culture. This is the first book in over 40 years to examine this...

Stephen Drummond's year-long combat tour was in its final days, and his scheduled homecoming was virtually assured. But as he sat in a tunnel later that night, it seemed preposterous to him - utterly ridiculous, actually - that only a few hours ago he was anticipating his return from war; that at sundown he had fully expected to go home, but as the moon rose, he knew he wouldn't. His worst nightmare had become reality. He was now a prisoner of war in communist North Korea. Drummond's experiences were not those typical of other prisoners held...
