Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of ideas concerning war and peace through history. It opens with a look at the absolute monarchy of eighteenth-century France, then moves into the tumultuous years of the Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. Through poetry and prose, the author juxtaposes the excitement and fervor of these times with the simple innocence of children, as in Robert Southey's The Battle of Blenheim. The book ends with a condemnation of militarism by American poet James Russell Lowell, and a look at the continuation of autocracy in Czarist Russia. By showing the stark contrasts between periods of great social change and upheaval with those of relative peace and stability, this book encourages readers to examine their own beliefs about the nature of war and peace, and the ways in which these ideas have shaped the course of human history. 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 réf. du vendeur 9781528496599_0
