Two Years Before the Mast: A Personal Narrative of Life at Sea
ISBN: 9781456472825 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Two Years Before the Mast is a remarkable book, part travelogue and part seafaring adventure. A great look at what life was really like on the merchant sailing ships of the first half of the 19th century, Two Years Before the Mast is also part suspense yarn, with the hero's return to his native land in serious doubt due to events beyond his control. Seen through the eyes of young man in his late teens who looks for both a cure for his measles and some real thrills, Richard Henry Dana treats us to his view of the west coast and the Californians as compared to his native, very urban and...

Two Years Before the Mast
ISBN: 9783954273553 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2013 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the following pages I design to give an accurate and authentic narrative of a little more than two years spent as a common sailor before the mast, in the American merchant service; and in it I have adhered closely to fact in every particular, and endeavoured to give each thing its true character. My design is, and it is this which has induced me to publish the book, to present the life of a common sailor at sea as it really is - the light and dark together. Richard Henry Dana (1815-1882), American politician, lawyer and expert for maritime law, gives a vivid account of his younger years as...

In 1869 the late Richard Henry Dana, Jr., prepared a new edition of his "Two Years Before the Mast''.

Public Freedom
ISBN: 9780691135946 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The freedom to take part in civic life--whether in the exercise of one's right to vote or congregate and protest--has become increasingly less important to Americans than individual rights and liberties. In Public Freedom, renowned political theorist Dana Villa argues that political freedom is essential to both the preservation of constitutional government and the very substance of American democracy itself. Through intense close readings of theorists such as Hegel, Tocqueville, Mill, Adorno, Arendt, and Foucault, Villa diagnoses the key causes of our democratic...

Tracing an awe-inspiring ocean journey from Boston, around Cape Horn, to the California coast, Two Years Before the Mast is both a riveting story of adventure and an eloquent, insightful account of life at sea in the early nineteenth century.

Socratic Citizenship
ISBN: 9780691086934 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Many critics bemoan the lack of civic engagement in America. Tocqueville's ''nation of joiners'' seems to have become a nation of alienated individuals, disinclined to fulfill the obligations of citizenship or the responsibilities of self-government. In response, the critics urge community involvement and renewed education in the civic virtues. But what kind of civic engagement do we want, and what sort of citizenship should we encourage? In Socratic Citizenship, Dana Villa takes issue with those who would reduce citizenship to community involvement or to political participation for...
