The Culture of the Seven Years' War: Empire, Identity, and the Arts in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World
ISBN: 9781442643550 / Angielski / Twarda / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) was the decisive conflict of the eighteenth century - Winston Churchill called it the first "world war" - and the clash which forever changed the course of North American history.

When the pirate Thomas Veale was trapped in a cave in Lynn, Massachusetts, back in 1658, along with his treasure, a succession of events ensued that defy explanation. With a strange pantheon of characters, including the famed Hutchinson family, the self-proclaimed messiah Murray Spear, and the dogged work of Hiram Marble, this legend has all the aspects of a great epic. The best thing about it, though, is that it all happens to be true.

PEUT-ETRE il n'y a pas de pays dont l'histoire prete moins a la poesie que celle des Etats-Unis d'Amerique. L'imprimerie etait en usage longtemps avant l'etablissement des premiers colons, et la politique des provinces et des Etats fut toujours d'encourager la propagation des lumieres.
