Sinossi

Samuel Pepys' "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1661 N.S" offers a vivid and intimate portrait of life in 17th-century England, eloquently capturing the personal and public upheavals of the time. Written in a detailed, engaging style, the diary entries reflect Pepys' astute observations of contemporary events, ranging from the Great Plague to the Great Fire of London. The narrative unfolds in a blend of formal and colloquial language, intertwining personal reflections with historical commentary, making it a vital primary source for understanding the Restoration period. Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, kept his diary from 1660 to 1669, motivated by a desire to document his life and witness the significant transformations in England. His background in government and society propelled him into the heart of historical events, as he mingled with prominent figures of his time, illuminating the complexities of the era's politics, culture, and daily life. Pepys' meticulousness and candidness allow readers to glimpse his private thoughts and experiences amidst the larger societal shifts. This work is highly recommended for anyone interested in historical literature, as it transcends mere documentation to provide an engaging narrative that resonates with contemporary readers. Pepys' diary is not only a rich resource for historians but also an entertaining read that offers timeless insights into human nature and societal change.

    Imperialism, a term that evokes both grandeur and controversy, refers to the practice of extending a nation's power and dominion over foreign territories, often through conquest, colonization, or economic and political influence. At its core, imperialism involves the domination of one country over another, typically to exploit resources, expand markets, or spread cultural and political ideologies. While the history of imperialism stretches back to ancient civilizations, the modern form of imperialism emerged during the Age of Exploration, when European powers began to seek new trade routes and expand their influence across the globe. 
    The roots of imperialism are deeply entwined with the economic, political, and cultural motivations of the imperial powers. From an economic perspective, nations sought to secure access to valuable resources, such as gold, silver, spices, and agricultural products, which were crucial for their economic growth. The industrial revolution further fueled this desire for resources, as new technologies created an insatiable demand for raw materials and new markets to sell finished goods. Politically, imperialism was driven by the need for strategic dominance, with nations eager to expand their influence and prevent rivals from gaining power. Cultural and ideological motives, such as the belief in the superiority of one’s own civilization and the desire to “civilize” and Christianize indigenous peoples, were also significant driving forces behind imperial expansion. 
    The rise of modern imperialism coincided with the emergence of powerful European states, including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Italy, who sought to expand their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

    China's Civilian Army charts China's transformation from an isolated and impoverished communist state to a global superpower from the perspective of those on the front line: China's diplomats. They give a rare perspective on the greatest geopolitical drama of the last half century. 
     
     
     
    Little is known or understood about the inner workings of the Chinese government as the country bursts onto the world stage, as the world's second largest economy and an emerging military superpower. China's Diplomats embody its battle between insecurity and self-confidence, internally and externally. To this day, Chinese diplomats work in pairs so that one can always watch the other for signs of ideological impurity. They're often dubbed China's "wolf warriors" for their combative approach to asserting Chinese interests. 
     
     
     
    Drawing for the first time on the memoirs of more than a hundred retired diplomats as well as author Peter Martin's first-hand reporting as a journalist in Beijing, this groundbreaking book blends history with current events to tease out enduring lessons about the kind of power China is set to become. It is required for anyone who wants to understand China's quest for global power, as seen from the inside.
