PREFACE. - THE aim of the Handbook of "The History of Modern Civilization "-0. continuation and complotion of "The History of Ancient Civilization,published in the same form more than a year ago-is to give to young students and general readers a comprehensive view of the progress of the nations, as far as it is known, out of the decadence of ancient civilization, through medieval barbarism, until they emerge in modern and advance to contemporary civilization. It is hoped that it may stimulate younger readers to pursue historical studies further, and may occasionally be useful to older students as a grouping together of knowledge already acquired. Though based on M. Ducoudray's 1 Histoire Sommaire de la Civilisation," this handbook is rather an adaptation than a translation; for M.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book describes the decline and fall of the Roman Empire from its peak to the tumultuous centuries that followed. At the height of Rome's prosperity, its citizens enjoyed unparalleled rights and legal protections, and the author shows how Christianity, in its infancy during this period, profoundly influenced the religious, social, and political structures of the empire. The spread of Christianity within Rome brought equality, social welfare, and new values and beliefs that shifted the foundation of the Roman way of life. The text meticulously traces the influence of Christianity on a variety of areas, drawing connections between its teachings and the transformation of family dynamics, the abolition of slavery, and the humanization of society. Through a thorough analysis of historical events, this book provides a deep understanding of the cultural and spiritual changes that occurred during this pivotal era, and how they shaped the development of Western civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781440045615_0
