Book Synopsis For Two Thousand Years by : Mihail Sebastian
Download or read book For Two Thousand Years written by Mihail Sebastian and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Absolutely, definitively alone', a young Jewish student in Romania tries to make sense of a world that has decided he doesn't belong. Spending his days walking the streets and his nights drinking and gambling, meeting revolutionaries, zealots, lovers and libertines, he adjusts his eyes to the darkness that falls over Europe, and threatens to destroy him. Mihail Sebastian's 1934 masterpiece, now translated into English for the first time, was written amid the anti-Semitism which would, by the end of the decade, force him out of his career and turn his friends and colleagues against him. For Two Thousand Years is a prescient, heart-wrenching chronicle of resilience and despair, broken layers of memory and the terrible forces of history.
Book Synopsis Two Thousand Years in Exeter by : W G Hoskins
Download or read book Two Thousand Years in Exeter written by W G Hoskins and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exeter is one of the oldest cities in Britain: people have lived here without a break for more than two thousand years. The High Street has been in continuous use as a thoroughfare throughout that long period. For centuries Exeter was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the kingdom and has always been the mother city of the South West. In this book, first published in 1960 and acclaimed as a 'small masterpiece', the author traces the essential historic development and character of a leading provincial centre. He describes its adventure from a Roman camp to a modern city, with particular reference to its social history, to the lives and surroundings of ordinary people, to the buildings and landscapes of the past. Above all, he is concerned with the recent past and devotes three thorough chapters to the 19th and 20th centuries. W. G. Hoskins died in 1992. The task of bringing the work up to date and preparing text and illustrations for this new edition of a classic work has been undertaken by Hazel Harvey, a distinguished local historian of Exeter. Much of Exeter has been destroyed, but much of the historic past of this entrancing city still remains. Hoskins' incomparable text is supported by a new selection of illustrations and maps, with an appendix on the street names of the city and place names in the neighbourhood. This book will be as valuable to the visitor as to the citizen of Exeter, for it tells where to look for the memorials of the past and for the history that lies behind them.
Book Synopsis Fifty years later by : Francisco Cândido Xavier
Download or read book Fifty years later written by Francisco Cândido Xavier and published by FEB Editora. This book was released on 2021-10-10 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emmanuel tells a story that is linked to Christianity in the 2nd century. In this novel, some characters of the novel Two thousand years ago return to their earthly journey as a result of the law of cause and effect. One of the central characters of that book, the Senator Publius Lentulus, appears in this sequel reincarnated as Nestorius – a slave. In his return to earth, this slave embraces a more humble stance, one that his proud heart had oppressed in his previous life. God’s mercy allows him to redeem all his excesses and arbitrary acts of the past, when, invested by public power, he vainly thought he held all rights and supremacy in his hands. However, this book’s main character is, in fact, a woman named Celia, whose sublime heroism was a beacon on the path of several disheartened and suffering spirits, as Emmanuel describes. Celia understood and lived Jesus’ teachings throughout her pain lled existence.
Book Synopsis Erewhon Revisited Twenty Years Later by : Samuel Butler
Download or read book Erewhon Revisited Twenty Years Later written by Samuel Butler and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Erewhon Revisited’ the sequel to ‘Erewhon’, Samuel Butler’s acclaimed first novel, finds adventurer Higgs returning to the mysterious, distant land of Erewhon. There he discovers its people ruled by a religious cult inspired by his hot-air balloon escape thirty years earlier. Devious professors Hanky and Panky have invented a new religion called ‘Sunchildism’ and Higgs, the unwitting ‘Sun Child,’ is not welcome. The professors are determined to preserve their grip on Erewhonians leaving Higgs in mortal danger. With the help of his newfound son, Higgs must once again escape Erewhon if he is to survive. Butler’s humorous, perceptive book is a penetrating satire of Christianity in Victorian England and is still as relevant and fresh today. ‘Erewhon Revisited’ is Samuel Butler’s last novel. Samuel Butler (1835-1902) was a revolutionary English novelist and critic. He is best known for the utopian novel ‘Erewhon’ (1872) and the posthumous, semi-autobiographical novel ‘The Way of All Flesh’ (1903). Both of which have remained in print ever since. ‘Erewhon’ is renowned as one of the first books to explore the idea of machine evolution. The English writer Aldous Huxley acknowledged the book's influence on his novel ‘Brave New World’, while George Bernard Shaw deemed Butler ‘the greatest English writer of the latter half of the nineteenth century.’

Book Synopsis Writing on the Wall by : Tom Standage
Download or read book Writing on the Wall written by Tom Standage and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we are endlessly connected: constantly tweeting, texting or e-mailing. This may seem unprecedented, yet it is not. Throughout history, information has been spread through social networks, with far-reaching social and political effects. Writing on the Wall reveals how an elaborate network of letter exchanges forewarned of power shifts in Cicero's Rome, while the torrent of tracts circulating in sixteenth-century Germany triggered the Reformation. Standage traces the story of the rise, fall and rebirth of social media over the past 2,000 years offering an illuminating perspective on the history of media, and revealing that social networks do not merely connect us today – they also link us to the past.
Book Synopsis The Armenian Massacres of 1915–1916 a Hundred Years Later by : Flavia Lattanzi
Download or read book The Armenian Massacres of 1915–1916 a Hundred Years Later written by Flavia Lattanzi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This peer-reviewed book features essays on the Armenian massacres of 1915-1916. It aims to cast light upon the various questions of international law raised by the matter. The answers may help improve international relations in the region. In 1915-1916, roughly a million and a half Armenians were murdered in the territory of the Ottoman Empire, which had been home to them for centuries. Ever since, a dispute between Armenians and Turkey has been ongoing over the qualification of the massacres. The contributors to this volume examine the legal nature and consequences of this event. Their investigation strives to be completely neutral and technical. The essays also look at the broader issue of denial. For instance, in Turkey, public speech on the matter can still trigger criminal prosecution whereas in other European States denial of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity is criminalized. However, the European Court of Human Rights views criminal prosecution of denial of the Armenian massacres as unlawful. In addition, one essay considers a state’s obligation to remember by looking at lessons learnt from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Another contributor looks at a collective right to remember and some ideas to move forward towards a solution. Moreover, the book explores the way the Armenian massacres have affected the relationship between Turkey and the European Union.
Book Synopsis One Hundred Years Later by : Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa
Download or read book One Hundred Years Later written by Alberto Vázquez-Figueroa and published by Kolima Books. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years after the Spanish flu epidemic that killed sixty million people, we suffer a pandemic that has led to an unprecedented global crisis. The chaos and the scarcity have taken over the planet and we would say there is no way out while humans beings live in panic. What path should we take? What resources do we have to overcome? This is the story of a family that is forced to live in isolation and watch their ties break, although these will re-weld more strongly when they understand that whatever the end is, it will be less painful or more glorious if they manage to reach it together. It is also a song of hope because despair itself can kill more than any virus.
