Sinopsis

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.

  • A Year of Glory and Gold - 1932 - Ireland's Jazz Age - cover

    A Year of Glory and Gold - 1932...

    The 1930s in Ireland is often thought of as a bleak period of economic stagnation and unemployment. But 1932, hailed by the Irish Press as a 'new era', was an early glimmer of the modernity and success Ireland would later reach: a sequence of events and achievements that included technological advances in travel, agriculture, home appliances and entertainment; Olympic gold medals and the meteoric rise of boxing phenomenon Jack Doyle; a spectacular Eucharistic Congress; sweepstakes and a so called gold rush; as well as the election of Éamon de Valera and transformations in politics and culture.
    The soundtrack scoring all this change was the jazz craze, which landed in Ireland in the early 1930s and flourished throughout the country, loosening the conservative social and moral order of the time. Jazz brought new forms of dress, lifestyle and behaviour, exciting and exhilarating a younger generation for the future, while leaving an older generation wary of such rapid change.
    A Year of Glory and Gold is an energetic and exuberant biography of a bright year in Ireland's history, combining deep archival research with spirited storytelling by one of Ireland's best-loved social historians.

    Autocracy 20 - How China's Rise...

    In 2008, the world watched in awe as 2,008 men pounded Fou drums in unison at the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony―a spectacle that heralded China's arrival as a global powerhouse. Yet even as China's economy skyrocketed, skeptics scoffed at its ability to lead in tech, arguing that its authoritarian institutions smother true innovation. Jennifer Lind dismantles this assumption, showing that China has not just kept pace; it has, in fact, surged ahead.Coupling hard data with razor-sharp analysis, Lind shows that China's ascent was fueled by what she calls "smart authoritarianism": a model of governance in which autocratic leaders temper tight political control with inclusive economic measures. By balancing proinnovation policies with tools of repression, China's leaders have obtained political control and economic growth. These smart authoritarians, Lind observes, are not the brass-knuckled dictators of the past―they are their polished Savile Row–clad progeny, and they are found not only in China but also in authoritarian regimes worldwide. 
     
    Compelling and incisive, Autocracy 2.0 is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand China's meteoric rise and how today's autocrats are reshaping the technological frontier, governance, and the global balance of power.
