Romanticism - Between the Heart and the Mind

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

**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.

Ancient History - A...

Kelly Mass

This combo book consists of 3 titles about the following topics:
1: History of India - The history of India is long and complicated. It dates back to thousands of years before Christ, according to historical analysts, and it involves wars, peoples, different spiritual movements, claims of independence, merging of empires, and various cultural aspects.
In this study guide, we will try to shed some light on the development of this area of the world. We’ll talk about the bronze age, the iron age, medieval times in India, the early modern period, and the 20th century developments. To understand a part of the world with such a huge part of the entire world population (more than a 1.38 billion currently), is to understand way more about world history itself. Therefore, I invite you to get started right away and learn more.
2: Ancient Greece - Thanks to ancient Greece, we know more about philosophy, politics, the democratic system, mythology, art, the Olympics, and many, many lingual references imbedded in almost every European language. Ancient Greece has had a significant impact on many concepts we still hold true today.
Ancient Greece was a northeastern Mediterranean society that existed from the 12th-9th centuries BC till the end of classical antiquity (c. AD 600). It was made up of a loose collection of culturally and linguistically associated city-states and other areas that were only combined once, under Alexander the Great's empire, for 13 years (336-323 BC). Classical antiquity was quickly followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period in Western history.
3: Ancient Egypt - When we think of Ancient Egypt, we picture movies with mazes, pyramids, traps, mummies, and symbols. And although some of these things were definitely part of it, there is so much more to this ancient civilization.

The Bengal Famine - The...

Sarah Willards

The Bengal Famine of 1943 was not an isolated event, but rather the culmination of years of political, economic, and environmental factors. To understand the tragedy that claimed the lives of millions, it is essential to examine the conditions that led to this devastating famine. 
British colonial policies in India played a significant role in shaping the socio-economic landscape of Bengal. Under British rule, India’s agrarian economy was restructured to serve the needs of the colonial administration and its industrial empire. While the British extracted resources for their own benefit, they paid little attention to the welfare of the local population. In Bengal, a region heavily reliant on rice cultivation, this exploitation became increasingly evident as agricultural output was redirected to support the war effort, leaving the local population vulnerable to food shortages. 
The economic strain caused by World War II exacerbated the situation in Bengal. As Britain sought to maintain its colonial empire, large quantities of rice were diverted from Bengal to support the war in the Pacific, where the Japanese threat loomed large. Additionally, the colonial government’s focus on military expenditure rather than economic development in India drained resources that could have been used for famine prevention and agricultural aid. This led to an economic imbalance, further disrupting food production and distribution in Bengal.

The Dark Side of Mankind

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Mankind is naturally evil and good. Ever since we became conscious, the evil within us emerged. Animals are not good or evil, they just follow the power of nature. We became aware of the differences and we continued regardless. No higher agent such as God can be blamed for the rise of darkness in our souls. Moral evil is caused by human activity. 
 
It is argued that our love of darkness proves that there is no God. If God exists and is omnipotent and all-knowing and perfectly good then there would be no natural evil, but there is. Can we continue to blame God for the ways of mankind or is it time we accepted responsibility for our ways? 
 
The truth is that we will not stop any time soon. In this book we examine the dark nature of mankind and the most gruesome and disturbing acts we have committed over time. From the holocaust to human sacrifices to false gods. No bloodstained stone will be unturned. 
 
Welcome to the Dark Side.
