Synopsis

In "History of Friedrich II of Prussia," Thomas Carlyle presents a monumental work that intricately chronicles the life and reign of Frederick II, portraying him not only as a sovereign but also as a complex individual entwined in the cultural and political fabric of 18th-century Europe. Written in a distinctive, elevating prose style that blends historical narrative with philosophical reflections, Carlyle's extensive 21-volume series delves into themes of power, art, and the interplay of destiny and free will. This ambitious project reflects Carlyle's deep engagement with German Romanticism and responds to the Enlightenment ideals that shaped his historical perspective, making it a rich tapestry of political and personal histories showcasing the fervor and challenges of the Prussian state during a tumultuous era. Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish philosopher and historian, was profoundly influenced by the socio-political upheavals of his time, particularly the industrial revolution and the complexities of modernity. His reverence for strong leadership and deep admiration for Frederick II are evident throughout the series. Carlyle's own struggles with faith, identity, and the power of the written word inform his portrayal of Frederick, positioning the King as a symbol of idealistic yet pragmatic governance amidst chaos. This exhaustive biography not only offers readers a fascinating historical account but also prompts them to ponder the greater philosophical questions surrounding authority, legacy, and the human condition. Scholars, history enthusiasts, and general readers alike will find Carlyle's narrative both enlightening and compelling, making this work an essential read for anyone drawn to the confluence of history and literature.

    North Georgia has more than forty lakes, and not one is natural. The state's controversial decision to dam the region's rivers for power and water supply changed the landscape forever. 
     
     
     
    Lost communities, forgotten crossroads, dissolving racetracks, and even entire towns disappeared. The creation of Lake Lanier displaced more than seven hundred families. During the construction of Lake Chatuge, busloads of schoolboys were brought in to help disinter graves for the community's cemetery relocation. Contractors clearing land for the development of Lake Hartwell met with seventy-eight-year-old Eliza Brock wielding a shotgun and warning the men off her property. Lisa Russell dives into the history hidden beneath North Georgia's lakes.

    Attitudes to Life

    "As long as we have the delusion of an ego, we will have all sorts of attitudes, convictions and views, which are all thought-created. In fact, instead of having a direct experience of life in the present, we live in a world of thoughts of either the past or the future. We live by our memories, speculations and fears. 
     
    We miss so much of life by reproducing it second-hand in our mind. 
     
    But once we have realized our true nature by breaking through our protective shell, we will live in the present moment. All our bare attention will be given to the act without the assumption of an ego outside the act. That moment will fill the whole of our action—the whole of our sense-impressions: the seeing, the hearing, the smelling, the touching, the tasting, the knowing." 
    —Ruth Walshe
