Sinopse

David Hume's "The History of England" is an ambitious six-volume work that chronicles the political and social evolution of England from the invasion of Julius Caesar to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Written in elegant prose that bridges the gap between historical narrative and philosophical exploration, Hume employs a critical lens, emphasizing themes of power, governance, and human nature. His meticulous approach incorporates extensive research, yet it is infused with his characteristic skepticism and inquiry into the moral implications of history, positioning it as a foundational text in both historiography and Enlightenment thought. Hume, a central figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, drew upon his profound understanding of philosophy, economics, and politics to craft this seminal work. His earlier writings, particularly in moral philosophy and empirical inquiry, profoundly influenced his perspective on historical causation and the role of human agency. It was this interdisciplinary background that allowed Hume to examine history not merely as a sequence of events but as a complex interplay of ideas, beliefs, and institutions. For readers interested in the evolution of modern historiography and Enlightenment philosophy, Hume's "The History of England" is a must-read. Its rigorous analysis and engaging narrative style not only provide insight into England's past but also invite reflection on the broader implications of historical study and the nature of human progress.

    Robert Rogers, commander of Rogers' Rangers during the French and Indian War, was the war's best-known colonial military hero and, in the ensuing peace, one of the best-known Americans of any description, rivaling Benjamin Franklin in popularity. Rogers is known today for his role in developing the mystique of the modern Ranger, but what explains his meteoric rise and his long, depressing fall? 
     
     
     
    Robert Rogers, Ranger: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon by Martin Klotz is a fresh look at the life of this famous, yet highly flawed man. Rogers undeniably had great personal strengths. At the same time Rogers had enormous weaknesses that undermined his ability to lead effectively. Rogers never found a comfortable place in America. Instead, his aristocratic patrons in London, who knew him mostly from his own self-description, gave him his most valuable opportunities, including commanding an important military and trading center on the colonial frontier and establishing the Queen's Rangers to fight alongside Crown forces during the Revolution. But when the British cause failed in America, Rogers became an anathema on both sides of the Atlantic. A fascinating inquiry into an eighteenth-century life, Robert Rogers, Ranger presents this American legend as he lived, crossing the line between fame and misfortune.

    When Lucy Walsh was seventeen, she was given sixty-three of the love letters her Grandfather Dale wrote her Grandmother Wanda while he was overseas in World War II. A dozen years later, life changing events compelled Lucy to fly from Los Angeles to tiny Newman, Illinois, to spend three days talking with Wanda for what would be their final conversations. What began for Lucy as asking about the letters, became an unexpected master class in truly living. 
    This is the story, much of it conveyed in Wanda's inimitable voice, of Wanda's ninety-seven-year-long life, encompassing everything from her English ancestors to the residents in her nursing home. Through Lucy's candid questions and Wanda's soulful stories, we are swept up into one family's legacy that transports readers right into their own experiences and memories of family. 
    When Lucy isn't talking with Wanda, she visits other relatives and her own memories: the many trips over the years to Illinois and her mother's family; growing up in Los Angeles with two fathers, one a rock star; becoming a performer herself. Inevitably, in her effort to understand where and who she comes from, it becomes the story of Lucy's life as well, to which all readers can relate to in their own search for Self. 
    We fall in love with the unforgettable Grandma Wanda Mae, as she shares insights and confessions with plenty of comedic relief amongst the pain; making us laugh so hard we cry, and cry so hard we come back around to laughter. This book is a treasure trove of all Wanda has to teach us about what it truly means to be deeply, imperfectly, gloriously human, at every age.
