Beschreibung

In 'Walks in Rome,' Augustus J. C. Hare serves as a sagacious guide, traversing the storied pathways of Rome with a detail that marries historical erudition with an intimate portrait of the city. Hare's descriptive prowess turns Rome's architecture, from the colossal Colosseum to the ancient Via Appia, into veritable narratives. The prose resonates with a nineteenth-century style, somewhat formal yet invitingly narrative, and places readers amidst a Rome vibrant with antiquity and burgeoning modernity. This work is both a valuable literary piece and a historical reflection, speaking volumes about the zeitgeist of Hare's era in its exposition of Rome's timeless allure.

Augustus J. C. Hare, a prolific travel writer from an eminent family, penned his extensive insights during the zenith of the Grand Tour era, when travel became en vogue among the European elite. 'Walks in Rome' is likely rooted in Hare's own experiences and intellectual appetite for history and the arts. His prose evinces a thorough understanding of the cultural significance of Rome's relics, with an exuberance for the city's ecclesiastical history, paying homage to the architects of civilization.

'Recommended for the erudite armchair traveler and the actual wayfarer alike, 'Walks in Rome' remains an essential companion to understanding Rome's labyrinthine history and its enduring magnificence. Hare's work beckons the reader to stroll through time, providing a rich tableau that transforms idle sauntering into enlightened journeying. It's a book that promises to elevate one's perception of Rome beyond the superficial, leaving an indelible print of the Eternal City on the canvas of the reader's imagination.

    The Ashanti Empire, flourishing from the 17th to the 19th century in what is now Ghana, stands as a testament to the resilience and sophistication of African states. This powerful kingdom was established through a unique blend of indigenous cultural traditions and political innovations, creating a centralized authority that not only governed a vast territory but also unified diverse ethnic groups under a single national identity. At the heart of this unity was the revered Golden Stool, a symbol of divine providence and the collective spirit of the Ashanti people. 
    Emerging from a landscape rich in natural resources and strategic trade routes, the Ashanti Empire developed robust economic foundations. Gold, kola nuts, and other valuable commodities flowed through well-established networks, facilitating both internal prosperity and external exchanges with neighboring regions and distant trading partners. This economic strength enabled the empire to invest in military expansion and administrative structures that further consolidated its power. 
    The political organization of the Ashanti Empire was characterized by a sophisticated hierarchy led by the Asantehene, whose authority was both political and spiritual. This dual role was crucial in maintaining social order and ensuring loyalty among the various clans and communities within the empire. The administration was further supported by councils of elders and local chiefs, who played significant roles in the governance process by mediating disputes and enforcing the laws that held the society together.

    Why are there restaurants? Why would anybody consider eating alongside perfect strangers in a loud and crowded room to be an enjoyable pastime? To find the answer, Rebecca Spang takes us back to France in the eighteenth century, when a restaurant was not a place to eat but a quasi-medicinal bouillon not unlike the bone broths of today. 
     
     
     
    This is a book about the French revolution in taste—about how Parisians invented the modern culture of food, changing the social life of the world in the process. We see how over the course of the Revolution, restaurants that had begun as purveyors of health food became symbols of aristocratic greed. In the early nineteenth century, the new genre of gastronomic literature worked within the strictures of the Napoleonic state to transform restaurants yet again, this time conferring star status upon oysters and champagne.
