Romanticism - Between the Heart and the Mind

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

**Romanticism: Between the Heart and the Mind** is a comprehensive exploration of the Romantic movement, a literary, artistic, and intellectual movement that originated in Europe in the late 18th century. This book examines the key figures of the movement, their ideas, their works, and the impact of Romanticism on art, music, and politics.

Romanticism was a reaction against the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and logic. Romantics believed that true knowledge and beauty could be found in the realm of emotion, imagination, and intuition. They sought to explore the inner landscape of the human mind and to find a deeper connection with nature.

This book delves into the key characteristics of Romanticism, including its emphasis on emotion, imagination, and intuition; its belief in the inherent goodness of humanity; its love of nature and the natural world; its fascination with the past, especially the Middle Ages; and its desire to break free from the constraints of tradition and convention.

The book also explores the impact of Romanticism on art, music, and politics. Romantic ideas about liberty, equality, and fraternity helped to inspire the French Revolution and other revolutionary movements throughout Europe. Romanticism also played a role in the rise of nationalism and the development of new political ideologies.

**Romanticism: Between the Heart and the Mind** is an essential resource for anyone interested in the Romantic movement. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the movement, its key figures, and its impact on Western culture. It is a must-read for students of literature, art, and history, as well as for general readers who want to learn more about this fascinating period in history.

**Key Features:**

* Comprehensive overview of the Romantic movement
* In-depth analysis of key figures and their works

Medieval History - Facts and...

Kelly Mass

This combo of 3 in 1 books consists of the following topics:
Anglo-Saxons: In the Early Middle Ages, the Anglo-Saxons were a cultural group that resided in England. They traced their roots back to the arrival of incomers to Britain in the fifth century, who originated from the North Sea coastlands of continental Europe. The ethnogenesis of the Anglo-Saxons, on the other hand, happened in Britain, and the identity wasn't just imported. The contact between getting in groups of people from some Germanic tribe, both amongst themselves and with native British populations, led to the facility of an Anglo-Saxon identity. A lot of the native tribes ultimately incorporated and embraced Anglo-Saxon society and language.
Viking History: We all have a typical image of Vikings, from the horns on their helmets to the beards and the clothes they wear. Their ships have a certain charm, and their reputation is that they were brutal, raw, and believed in multiple gods. The Vikings traveled during the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Middle East, and The U.S.A. And Canada. That period is acknowledged as the Viking Age in parts of the countries where they robbed and settled, and the name "Viking" is also used to describe the population of the Scandinavian homelands as a whole. The early middle ages history of Scandinavia, the British Isles, France, Estonia, and Kievan Rus' was exceptionally impacted by the Vikings.
Inquisition: Perhaps you have heard of the horrible stories of the Spanish, Portuguese, or French inquisition, the Catholic body of persecutors who would arrest the supposed “heathens” and accuse them of witchcraft, heresies, blasphemy, adultery, and a whole list of other sins or crimes. Torture, interrogations, executions, burnings, and other inhumane methods were used to then force, coerce, or kill the victims of this Catholic organization within the church at the time.

The An Lushan Rebellion and Its...

Sarah Willards

The An Lushan Rebellion, one of the most significant uprisings in Chinese history, did not emerge overnight. The roots of the rebellion can be traced back to the political, social, and military tensions that plagued the Tang Dynasty in the mid-8th century. The Tang Empire, once at its peak, was experiencing a slow but steady decline, marked by corruption, factionalism, and a weakening central authority. These conditions set the stage for the rise of regional military leaders like An Lushan.
An Lushan was a general of mixed Sogdian and Turkish descent, originally serving in the Tang military. His talents as a military strategist, combined with his ability to garner the loyalty of his troops, made him a powerful figure. He rose through the ranks of the imperial court, earning favor from Emperor Xuanzong. Initially, An Lushan was appointed to oversee the northern frontier, where he successfully defended the empire from external threats. However, his growing influence, both militarily and politically, began to stir unease at the imperial court.
The Tang Dynasty’s reliance on powerful military governors, known as jiedushi, to maintain order in the frontier regions allowed these individuals to amass significant power. This decentralization of authority undermined the emperor's control over the empire and contributed to widespread corruption. The power struggles within the court and the lavish spending of Emperor Xuanzong’s court, especially during his later years, further distanced the ruling elite from the needs of the common people.

Secrets of Witches

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Most people know of witches from the movies. Horror films with evil, cackling old women dressed in black, mixing potions and lotions and bringing doom to her victims. 
 
The truth is in fact, as normal, far from the Hollywood version. Most of this false reality comes from religious intolerance over the centuries. Witchcraft was a threat to established religion and can be dated right back into the Bible itself. 
 
Church propaganda spread stories and fear among the masses. This in turn brought down violence upon those practising witchcraft. Hounded out of town, victimised or even burned alive or drowned, the role of those practising the old arts was not one to be jealous of. If there was any true horror, then it was for the witches themselves. 
 
Their craft is as old as history and it holds a great many truths, both natural and psychological. It finds it’s origins in ancient techniques of natural healing and a uniting of the natural world with that of humanity. Many of the discoveries made by witches are now common practice in homeopathy. 
 
So what is the real truth? Did witches deal with the devil? Did they eat their victims? Did they mix their special brews in big black cauldrons? It’s time to find out.
