Reflections on the Revolution in France - Enriched edition

Edmund Burke

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "Reflections on the Revolution in France," Edmund Burke articulates a profound critique of the 1789 French Revolution, positioning it against the backdrop of Enlightenment thought and its implications for social order. With eloquent prose that combines philosophical examination and political commentary, Burke warns against the dangers of radical change and the upheaval of traditional structures. His work serves not only as a contemporary response to revolutionary fervor but also as a foundational text in political conservatism, emphasizing the importance of gradual reform and the wisdom embedded in established institutions. Edmund Burke, an Irish statesman and philosopher known for his advocacy of civil rights, developed his ideas against the turbulence of his time, witnessing both the American Revolution and the onset of the French Revolution. His experiences and insights into the social contract and governance greatly influenced his views on the necessity of tradition and moral philosophy in maintaining societal stability—a core theme in this work. "Reflections on the Revolution in France" is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of revolution and the perennial tension between change and continuity in society. Burke's arguments resonate through modern discourse on governance and citizenship, offering valuable lessons on the necessity of preserving historical wisdom amidst the clamor for progress.

Forgotten - Searching for...

Penny Johnson, Raja Shehadeh

A profound meditation on memory and the preservation of Palestinian heritage, from the award-winning author of We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I. 
 
 
 
Forgotten uncovers the hidden or neglected memorials and places in historic Palestine—now Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories—and what they might tell us about the land and the people who live on the small slip of earth between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. 
 
 
 
From ancient city ruins to the Nabi 'Ukkasha mosque and tomb, acclaimed writers and researchers Raja Shehadeh and Penny Johnson ask: what has been memorialized, and what lies unseen, abandoned, or erased—and why? Whether standing on a high cliff overlooking Lebanon or at the lowest land-based elevation on earth at the Dead Sea, they explore lost connections in a fragmented land. 
 
 
 
In elegiac, elegant prose, Shehadeh and Johnson grapple not only with questions of Israeli resistance to acknowledging the Nakba—the 1948 catastrophe for Palestinians—but also with the complicated history of Palestinian commemoration today.
