Sinopse

In "The Long Nineteenth Century: A History of Europe from 1789 to 1918," Charles Downer Hazen offers a sweeping and meticulously researched account of a transformative period in European history. Encompassing the upheaval of the French Revolution, the rise and fall of empires, and the socio-economic shifts spurred by industrialization, Hazen's narrative is marked by a clear, engaging style that deftly synthesizes complex historical events into a coherent story. By situating these events within a broader literary and philosophical context, Hazen illuminates not only the political dynamics of the age but also the cultural currents that shaped European thought and society during this dynamic epoch. Charles Downer Hazen was a prominent historian and professor whose academic pursuits were often influenced by the historical narratives and identities evolving in his own time. Born in the late 19th century, he was deeply acquainted with the legacy of the events he chronicles and may have been driven to produce a comprehensive history that reflects on the roots and ramifications of modern Europe. Hazen's expertise in European history and his pedagogical passion are evident throughout the text, which serves both as an educational resource and a compelling narrative. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in understanding the intricate tapestry of European history during the nineteenth century. Hazen's scholarly yet accessible approach makes it an excellent resource for students, historians, and general readers alike. His ability to intertwine factual detail with broader cultural themes provides invaluable insights into how the long nineteenth century continues to shape the contemporary European landscape.

    Confederate general Thomas Jonathan Jackson had been a virtual unknown upon his arrival at the front line of First Bull Run, but by the spring of 1862, thanks to his actions at that battle, “Stonewall” was already becoming known across the battlefields. Ultimately, it would be the Valley Campaign of 1862 that made him a legend.  
    	In the early months of 1862, Jackson was given command of an army numbering about 17,000 in the Shenandoah Valley. His task was daunting. The loss at Bull Run prompted a changing of the guard, with George B. McClellan, the “Young Napoleon”, put in charge of reorganizing and leading the Army of the Potomac. That spring, the Army of the Potomac conducted an ambitious amphibious invasion of Virginia’s Peninsula, circumventing the Confederate defenses to the north of Richmond by attacking Richmond from the southeast. 	General Johnston’s outnumbered army headed toward Richmond to confront McClellan, but the Union still had three armies totaling another 50,000 around the Shenandoah Valley, which represented a threat to Richmond from the north. It was these armies that Jackson would be tasked with stopping.  
    	Jackson would go on to lead his undermanned army through what military strategists and historians consider the most incredible campaign of the Civil War. From late March to early June, Jackson kept all three Union armies bottled up and separated from each other in the Shenandoah Valley by marching up and down the Valley about 650 miles in 50 days, earning his army the nickname “foot cavalry.”  
    Although Jackson is revered today as an almost ideal commander, a lot of his subordinates bristled under his leadership, believing not only that he asked too much but that he was too strict.

    Stories accompany us through life from birth to death. But they do not merely entertain, inform, or distress us—they show us what counts as right or wrong and teach us who we are and who we can imagine being. Stories connect people, but they can also disconnect, creating boundaries between people and justifying violence. In Letting Stories Breathe, Arthur W. Frank grapples with this fundamental aspect of our lives, offering both a theory of how stories shape us and a useful method for analyzing them. Along the way he also tells stories: from folktales to research interviews to remembrances. Frank’s unique approach uses literary concepts to ask social scientific questions: how do stories make life good and when do they endanger it? Going beyond theory, he presents a thorough introduction to dialogical narrative analysis, analyzing modes of interpretation, providing specific questions to start analysis, and describing different forms analysis can take. Building on his renowned work exploring the relationship between narrative and illness, Letting Stories Breathe expands Frank’s horizons further, offering a compelling perspective on how stories affect human lives.

    This book consists of three titles, which are the following: 
      - The Colonial Legacy: Colonialism has been a defining force in shaping the modern world, leaving an indelible mark on political systems, economic structures, and cultural identities. At its core, colonialism is the practice of domination, where one nation establishes control over another, often exploiting its resources and people for economic and political gain. While the phenomenon of colonialism spans centuries, its modern form gained momentum during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries, when European powers began venturing across the globe in search of wealth, land, and influence. 
      
      - Imperialism and Its Legacy: The rise of modern imperialism coincided with the emergence of powerful European states, including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Italy, who sought to expand their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These empires often operated on the belief in a hierarchy of races and cultures, with European nations placing themselves at the top, justifying their domination as a benevolent act for the supposed betterment of “lesser” civilizations. 
      - The Age of Imperialism: At its core, imperialism was driven by a combination of motives that included economic gain, political power, and a belief in cultural superiority. Industrialization played a pivotal role in shaping these ambitions, as European powers sought raw materials to fuel their growing industries and markets to sell their manufactured goods. The technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution, such as steamships, railways, and advanced weaponry, gave European nations a significant edge in their quest to dominate foreign lands.
