Sinopsis

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.

    On May 1, 1969, Fred Rogers, host of the (then) recently nationally syndicated children's television series, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, testified before the Senate Committee on Commerce Subcommittee on Communications to defend $20 million in federal funding proposed for the newly formed non-profit Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which was at risk of being reduced to $10 million. Subcommittee chairman, Senator John Pastore (D-RI), unfamiliar with Fred Rogers, is initially indifferent towards him. Over the course of Rogers' 6 minutes of testimony, Pastore's demeanor gradually transitions to one of awe and admiration as Rogers speaks.

    End of the Julio-Claudian...

    Throughout the annals of history, there have been few figures as reviled as Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, better known as Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus, or more simply, Nero. Even today, he remains one of the Roman Empire’s most famous – or notorious – figures, a villain whose impact on popular culture is so vast that his name crops up consistently to this day in literature, film, TV and mediums as unlikely as video games and anime. 
    Nero ranks among the very worst of the Caesars, alongside the likes of mad Caligula, slothful Commodus, and paranoid Domitian, a figure so hated that, in many ancient Christian traditions, he is literally, without hyperbole, considered the Antichrist; according to a notable Biblical scholar, the coming of the Beast and the number 666 in the Book of Revelation are references to Nero. He was the man who, famously, “fiddled while Rome burned”, an inveterate lecher, a murderous tyrant who showed little compunction in murdering his mother and who liked to use Christian martyrs as a source of illumination at night – by burning them alive. His economic policies, according to many historians, virtually bankrupted Rome.  
    Having left no heir, Nero’s death plunged the empire into confusion and chaos, bringing to an end the Julio-Claudian lineage while at the same time offering no clear rule of succession. This presented the opportunity for influential individuals in the empire, and in particular provincial governors who also commanded large military garrisons, to express and further their own ambitions to power. The result was a period of instability and civil war as several pretenders to the throne, among them the emperors Galba, Otho and Vitellius, gained and lost power, until finally the emperor Vespasian seized and retained the imperial principate. Vespasian subsequently imposed order and discipline on a chaotic empire and went on to establish the Flavian Dynasty.

    Maya Mythology - The Sacred...

    Maya mythology stands as one of the most intricate and profound systems of stories and beliefs in the ancient world, reflecting the depth of a civilization that thrived for thousands of years. These myths, preserved through oral traditions and later written texts such as the Popol Vuh, reveal the Maya’s understanding of the cosmos, their relationship with nature, and their spiritual connection to the divine. To study these myths is to step into a world where gods, humans, and nature are inseparably intertwined in a sacred dance of creation, destruction, and renewal.  
    The mythology of the Maya was not an isolated system of stories—it was deeply embedded in every aspect of their daily lives. From the way they organized their cities to the structure of their calendar, mythology shaped their worldview and guided their actions. The Maya believed that time itself was sacred, governed by cycles dictated by the gods, and their myths often sought to explain these patterns. The stories told by the Maya were not mere entertainment but vital teachings that conveyed the origins of life, the roles of the gods, and humanity’s responsibilities within the cosmic order.  
    A central feature of Maya mythology is its focus on creation. Myths like those found in the Popol Vuh detail the origins of the world, the struggles of the gods, and the creation of humanity. These stories emphasize the cyclical nature of existence, portraying creation and destruction as ongoing processes that ensure balance in the universe. For the Maya, myths served as reminders of humanity’s dependence on divine forces and the need to honor the gods through rituals, ceremonies, and offerings.
