Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Belgium Saved Europe Dr. Sarolea has described in a masterly book, "The Anglo-German Problem," the antecedents, or rather the factors, of the present war in which Germany declares that England is her principal enemy. I know of no book that expresses better the mentality of the two nations on the eve of their inevitable conflict, and events have borne out in a striking manner the author's logical deductions. To-day he deals especially with the part that Belgium has played in this formidable struggle, and the sufferings she has undergone through having remained true to her duty as a neutral nation. I am certain no one can read those tragic pages without becoming more than ever confirmed in his conviction that we are fighting in the cause of right, of liberty, and of civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium Past and Present: The Cockpit of Europe This book does not pretend to being a formal history of the Flemish and Walloon provinces up to their union as an independent kingdom; nor does it deal with Belgium exclusively. Its aim is, with pen and pencil, to illustrate the stirring past of that troubled borderland on which neighbour-nations have so often fought their quarrels, till in our own day it made an arena for the main stress of the greatest war ever waged on earth. Those who have gone through that titanic struggle, or followed it with anxious eyes, may willingly find here renewed for them the old fame of names now to us become at once sadly and proudly familiar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Europe Owes to Belgium Such had been the causes of difference in 1579 and substantially the same causes produced civil war in the kingdom of the United Netherlands only fifteen years after it had been created. The population of Holland was considerably smaller than that of Belgium; but the king was a Dutchman; the Dutch usually con trived to make a majority in the national parliament; and the ministers of the crown were chosen by the king from'his own countrymen. Both the bad and the good measures of this Government were displeasing to the Belgians they were indignant at its attempts to make Dutch the official language, and also at its adoption of a policy of complete religious tolerance. They found that the Dutch system of taxation was so contrived as to bear hardly on the Belgian provinces; and they grumbled because their clergy were compelled to go through a course of higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium, the Making of a Nation To say the truth, it is by no means easy to free oneself from the tyrannous obsession of the present, to escape from the atmosphere of fever or exaltation in which we live, and which impels us to regard Belgium as the pivot of European evolution. No land, it is true, possesses a more international history a fact which has been brought out with wonderful skill by Henri Pirenne - and it is not paradoxical to assert that one of the characteristics of Belgian nationality is internationalism.' While bearing these results in mind as scientifically true, I have devoted myself to the task of finding out the ruling factors of our internal history, and selecting by preference as the landmarks of different periods, not the changes which, resulting in general from European conflicts, have affected the reigning houses, but the distinctive phenomena of social life. In common with the other States of the West, Belgium only achieved political consistency in the fifteenth century, but her national character was formed during the course of the Middle Ages, and if I have not laid more stress upon that period it is because its history is still enveloped in the mists of legends.

Download or read book The Book That Changed Europe written by Lynn Hunt and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-31 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two French Protestant refugees in eighteenth-century Amsterdam gave the world an extraordinary work that intrigued and outraged readers across Europe. In this captivating account, Lynn Hunt, Margaret Jacob, and Wijnand Mijnhardt take us to the vibrant Dutch Republic and its flourishing book trade to explore the work that sowed the radical idea that religions could be considered on equal terms. Famed engraver Bernard Picart and author and publisher Jean Frederic Bernard produced The Religious Ceremonies and Customs of All the Peoples of the World, which appeared in the first of seven folio volumes in 1723. They put religion in comparative perspective, offering images and analysis of Jews, Catholics, Muslims, the peoples of the Orient and the Americas, Protestants, deists, freemasons, and assorted sects. Despite condemnation by the Catholic Church, the work was a resounding success. For the next century it was copied or adapted, but without the context of its original radicalism and its debt to clandestine literature, English deists, and the philosophy of Spinoza. Ceremonies and Customs prepared the ground for religious toleration amid seemingly unending religious conflict, and demonstrated the impact of the global on Western consciousness. In this beautifully illustrated book, Hunt, Jacob, and Mijnhardt cast new light on the profound insight found in one book as it shaped the development of a modern, secular understanding of religion.

Download or read book Souvenirs of Irish Footprints Over Europe written by Eugene Davis and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugene Davis's "Souvenirs", based on the author's tour of the continent in 1885-6, provides not only vivid vignettes of the life and times of Irish scholars, revolutionaries and artists living on the continent, both well known and obscure, from the time of the French revolution down to his own day, but also gives fascinating insight into how his contemporaries perceived the nature of Ireland's relationship with the European continent during the 1880s. This was a decade in which the future shape of Irish political society was being forged and when an optimism abounded that Ireland itself was about to become one of the nation states of Europe for the first time. These qualities help make the book an entertaining, enjoyable and informative read, and also a work of much historical interest and relevance.

It is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive, authoritative, and yes, readable postwar history.” —The Boston Globe Almost a decade in the making, this much-anticipated grand history of postwar Europe from one of the world's most esteemed historians and intellectuals is a singular achievement.
