Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Diary in Europe, 1871 On the clear sunny morn of Wednesday, May 10th, 1871, the Steamship Colorado left its pier at New York for Queenstown, Ireland, and for a time we bid adieu to our homes. Passing Sandy Hook we found the sea perfectly calm, scarcely a ripple marring its surface; our pilot left us now, and, as he departed, it seemed the last tie wasbeing severed thatbound us to our homes, and we left to the mercy of the wind and waves. One earnest, yearning prayer went out from our hearts, that God would keep us and our loved ones at home unharmed - would protect us in our travels, and bring us safely back. Soon the sunset auguries seemed to foretell a pleasant and prosperous trip, for in dappled gold and crimson flecks the flattened orb went down behind the waves; no clouds disturbed the scene save the light gossamer mantle the departing hours wrapped around them as they stepped softly through the portals opened for them; the stars came out brightly, and as we met the deepening swell of old ocean, our gallant boat bowed gently as though it met an old acquaintance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as one of the most important works on the Hitler period, this is an “astonishing, compelling, and unnerving” portrait of life in Nazi Germany between 1936 and 1944—from a man who nearly shot Hitler himself (The New Yorker) Friedrich Reck might seem an unlikely rebel against Nazism. Not just a conservative but a rock-ribbed reactionary, he played the part of a landed gentleman, deplored democracy, and rejected the modern world outright. To Reck, the Nazis were ruthless revolutionaries in Gothic drag, and helpless as he was to counter the spell they had cast on the German people, he felt compelled to record the corruptions of their rule. The result is less a diary than a sequence of stark and astonishing snapshots of life in Germany between 1936 and 1944. We see the Nazis at the peak of power, and the murderous panic with which they respond to approaching defeat; their travesty of traditional folkways in the name of the Volk; and the author’s own missed opportunity to shoot Hitler. This riveting book is not only, as Hannah Arendt proclaimed it, “one of the most important documents of the Hitler period,” but a moving testament of a decent man struggling to do the right thing in a depraved world.

It seemed that all who were not soldiers wanted to sell something to the passengers. The Moors went about trying to sell funny-looking copper coins. I bought a dozen fresh eggs from a Turk in regal costume for eight pence - 16 cents. Without hearing a joke, and even without seeing any prominent noses amongst us, he said, I'm a Yahuda this being proba bly a trick of his trade - to be of any relig ion the occasion might warrant. I bought a money-pouch from an African. Very small donkeys do all the hauling of very big loads strapped on either side of them in huge baskets. Many Spanish women run about here, some quite pretty, but wearing neither shoes, stockings, nor hats. Altogether, we spent a few pleasant hours looking at a queer, pretty little City, and a very funny, mixed-up lot of people. We said: Good-bye, Gibraltar.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Boy's Vacation Abroad, 1906: An American Boy's Diary of His First Trip to Europe We suggested to young King that he reproduce the Dedication in his own handwriting and wrote him to this effect. His answer was so good that we thought we would tell the readers about it. It ran as follows: "I wrote out that Dedication the best I could and hope it is the correct thing, but must say I think to print it in type would look much better, for I write like a hen, and do not like the idea of writing in this book. Am afraid it will queer the book." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize • Winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award • One of the New York Times' Ten Best Books of the Year “Impressive . . . Mr. Judt writes with enormous authority.” —The Wall Street Journal “Magisterial . . . 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. Postwar is the first modern history that covers all of Europe, both east and west, drawing on research in six languages to sweep readers through thirty-four nations and sixty years of political and cultural change-all in one integrated, enthralling narrative. Both intellectually ambitious and compelling to read, thrilling in its scope and delightful in its small details, Postwar is a rare joy. Judt's book, Ill Fares the Land, republished in 2021 featuring a new preface by bestselling author of Between the World and Me and The Water Dancer, Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Download or read book A Generation of Materialism 1871 1900 Revised Edition written by Dr. Carlton J. H. Hayes and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To a generation that has experienced two great World Wars, the closing quarter of the Nineteenth Century is bound, in retrospect, to appear in the light of a golden age. It was an era of peace in Europe, an age of great technological advance, a period of progress, of growing tolerance, of spreading liberalism. Or so at least it seemed at the time and so it appears to many even now. And yet, when viewed historically, when examined critically, the late nineteenth century emerges rather as an age of materialism, of smug self-confidence, of uncritical assurance. It was, as Professor Hayes sets forth, in many senses the seed-time of disaster, the prelude to an era of conflict and disillusionment. [...] In A Generation of Materialism, 1871-1900, Professor Hayes has gotten down to fundamentals. He has stripped away many of the easy misconceptions and has re-examined some of the basic assumptions and tenets of the modern world. If history is indeed but the prologue, no intelligent person can afford, amid the storm and stress of the contemporary world, to overlook this fascinating and stimulating reappraisal of the generation that bore our own. (William L. Langer, Introduction) “THE IMPARTIALITY and fair-mindedness which the historian must set as his goal are severely tested in writing about a period so near to us as this. Professor Hayes passes the test admirably. He has, of course, feelings that are engaged, and these he very straightforwardly makes clear in his preface...he has packed into a single volume an immense amount of information and good sense.”—CRANE BRINTON “A brilliant, illuminating account of an epoch which is considered as a climax of enlightenment and a source of disillusionment. A reappraisal that must be read.”—Social Studies “This stimulating volume is ‘living history,’ written by a man who has keenly observed and sincerely interpreted his age.”—FRANKLIN C. PALM, The American Historical Review
