Lectures on Modern History – John Emerich Edward Dalberg

The two volumes of his lectures on modern history and on the French Revolution give us in their full ripeness the sum of Acton’s historical judgments. History was not to Acton a mere academic pursuit. With that view of history which considers it, beneath the dry light of science, as a series of phenomena capable of detachment from the present, susceptible to separate analysis, he had no sympathy. Still less did he consider history a mere form of literary exposition. The one justification for the study of history was to Acton its value as a guide in the affairs of the every-day world. The present is what it is because of … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Hunting Of The Snark

Publiziert am 17. April 2017 von Jazzybee

The Hunting Of The Snark – Lewis Carroll

The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits) is usually thought of as a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll in 1874, when he was already 42 years old and after the death of his godson had shattered his religious beliefs thoroughly. It actually is a fantastical epic tale recounting the adventures of a bizarre troupe of nine tradesmen and a beaver on their search for the Snark, a mysterious creature living in the seas.

The Life and Teachings of Confucius

Publiziert am 17. April 2017 von Jazzybee

The Life and Teachings of Confucius – James Legge

This edition is a general account of the Chinese classics and contains a Life of Confucius, the ‘ Analects ‘ which describe his opinions, the translation of two standard works of the Confucian school, called ‘The Great Learning,’ and ‘The Doctrine of the Mean,’ written by his celebrated grandson. We commend the work most heartily to those who value such studies, as conveying to them, in a small compass and on the highest authority, a clear view of the position and opinions of the great sage who, for two thousand years, has ruled the literary world of China.
