Beschreibung

One man. Two worlds. A timeless tale of power, love, and betrayal.

Step into post-Napoleonic France with The Red and the Black, Stendhal's legendary exploration of ambition, hypocrisy, and romantic obsession. Follow Julien Sorel — a poor yet brilliant young man — as he climbs the rigid social ladder through cunning, seduction, and sheer determination.

In a world ruled by clergy and aristocrats, Julien navigates the tension between personal dreams and societal expectations. His journey is at once thrilling and tragic, told with sharp insight into the human psyche and the institutions that bind us.

💬 A favorite of literary giants like Nietzsche and Balzac, this novel defined 19th-century realism.

Whether you're drawn to political intrigue, passionate love, or psychological drama, this classic offers it all — in elegant, biting prose that still stirs readers today.

    "Modern Nations: The Making of Australia, New Zealand, and Māori Identity (2 in 1)" explores the transformative journey of two nations as they evolved from colonial settlements into independent, modern states, while also examining the ongoing struggle for recognition and identity among Indigenous communities. This two-part volume captures the complex and often challenging histories that shaped Australia and New Zealand, revealing how these countries forged their national identities amidst cultural clashes, political shifts, and social change.  
    The first section, The Making of Modern New Zealand, traces New Zealand's path from British colony to sovereign nation, highlighting the impact of European settlement, the Treaty of Waitangi, and the ongoing fight for Māori rights and cultural preservation.  
    The second section, History of Australia, explores the formation of modern Australia — from its origins as a British penal colony to its emergence as a diverse and independent nation — while also acknowledging the profound and lasting effects of colonization on Aboriginal communities.  
    Together, these narratives provide a comprehensive understanding of how colonial histories, Indigenous resistance, and nation-building efforts have shaped the modern identities of Australia, New Zealand, and their Indigenous peoples. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamic and often contested histories that continue to influence these nations today.

    Throughout history, warfare has played an important role in the development of many cultures around the world, and Mesoamerica is no exception. As J.M. Francis and T.M. Leonard noted, “The history of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica was one of violence, though no more so than that of any other region of the ancient world. It was a universe of shifting alliances and mutual antagonisms, in which increasingly strong political entities forged themselves and then broke apart.” 
    	Of course, the history of warfare in Mesoamerica is a long one, tracing its origins back to the Preclassic period with the Olmecs, who were the first group to expand their influence. There is clear evidence they had a military development, but it seems to have been mainly focused on protecting their trade networks instead of on conquest. After the Olmecs, Teotihuacan rose as the first main center of military expansion during the Classic period, extending its influence across Mesoamerican territory. After its collapse, the vacuum of power created an unstable period, and new expanding polities emerged, including Cacaxtla, Xochicalco, and Tula. They became important regional centers that took control of most of central Mesoamerica through the use of military interventions. After their decline, during the Postclassic period, the Aztecs eventually emerged as the dominant empire in Mesoamerica and continued expanding their control and influence until the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century. 
    	Perhaps not surprisingly, there are many misconceptions about Prehispanic warfare, so it is important to keep in mind that military conflicts in Mesoamerica were greatly diverse and cannot be summarized by simply analyzing Aztec militarism.
