Jedlicki, Jerzy

odernism and pessimism seem to go hand in hand. What are the sources of the historical pessimism we see in the legions of writers and thinkers over the past three centuries who saw modern civilization as degenerate and despicable, happily marching to its own doom?

Beschrijving Studies in History, Memory and Politics: A Degenerate World

Focusing mainly on Poland and England in the 19th and early 20th centuries, this book looks at the critics of modernity, those who saw doom in the innovations and discoveries of their time and a degenerating civilization. This trend of gloomy forecasts and distaste for modern civilization has left its mark on the European culture of our times.

Driven by the Monsoons

Barry Cunliffe tells the story of trade across the Indian Ocean using the evidence of archaeology and the tales of great travellers, showing how, across thousands of years, humans have been driven by need and the sheer desire to own exotic goods to create and maintain trade routes whatever the difficulties.

Blue Jerusalem

The story of how the post-war Labour government under Clement Attlee re-fashioned Britain is a familiar one. This is the alternative story of how the Conservatives envisioned Britain's post-war future, revealing the bold, at times utopian, plans that British Conservatives drew up for Britain and the post-war world.

From That Small Island

Who are the Irish? Where did they come from? Where did, and do, they go? 6 million people live on the island of Ireland, but 80 million people worldwide say they are Irish. What does this mean? From That Small Island is a global, ambitious retelling of Irish history exploring how Ireland has shaped and been shaped by world history.
