Libros de Historia de los países de Europa, página 38 de 112

El presente libro es el producto de la iniciativa de tres profesores de la Universidad de los Andes quienes creyeron que en las librerías de habla hispana poco había sobre autores alemanes, por lo que sin intencion de llenar dicha brecha, surgio la idea de hacer una compilacion de diversos textos sobre historia, politica y sociedad de Alemania en el siglo XX abordados desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria y dirigidos no solo a estudiantes sino a un publico general interesado en temas alemanes.

La storia di due ruggenti settimanali: La Domenica del Corriere e il Corriere dei Piccoli, entrambi fabbricati dalla stimatissima azienda di via Solferino come colorati supplementi al "Corrierone" quotidiano. Nati fra la fine del secolo vecchio e l'inizio del secolo nuovo, resistettero nella loro posizione privilegiata, ad alta e stabile tiratura, sino alla fine degli anni Cinquanta, quando nella rapida mutazione dei costumi nazionali, accusarono in maniera grave il peso dell'onoranda eta. La rinnovata casa editrice Rizzoli chiuse La Domenica del Corriere nel 1989 e si sbarazzo del Corrierino dei Piccoli cedendolo ad altri che ne perfezionarono la morte nel '93.

De combien de serviteurs, fideles ou conseillers se composaient les entourages des princes aux xive et xve siecles ? Quelle perception ces souverains avaient-ils du nombre de leurs serviteurs et curiaux, et comment l'adaptaient-ils selon un principe de realite ou un ideal de gouvernement, pour temoigner de leur puissance ? Par une etude des motivations symboliques ou ideologiques determinant les variations de la taille des Hotels et Cours, nous tenterons de cerner les ambitions des princes et les representations de la grandeur.

La rédaction de l'Histoire est une prise de position autant qu'une satisfaction personnelle pour les écrivains des xive et xve siècles qui voient dans un livre dédié au souverain une occasion de lui

Amb Moments crucials de la història d´Europa, Santiago Riera i Tuèbols ens explica alguns esdeveniments que al seu parer han conformat, per bé o per mal, l´Europa actual, des de la crema a la foguera

En el siglo XVIII, los reyes de la casa de Borbón establecen lo que podemos considerar el primer dispositivo de seguridad español, caracterizado por la proliferación de fuerzas dispersas por el territorio y con poca coordinacion entre si. Pieza clave en ese dispositivo fue la proteccion de los Sitios Reales, encomendada desde 1762 a la entonces creada, Compañia de Fusileros Guardabosques Reales, mas tarde secundada por la Compañia Suelta de Castilla la Nueva, hasta que a mediados del siglo XIX se produce la remodelacion de la Guarderia real, estableciendose un nuevo dispositivo de proteccion. En este libro se desentrañan las diferentes vertientes (delitos, efectivos, puestos de vigilancia, relacion con los paisanos, organizacion, etc.) del proceso que en este aspecto de la vida española lleva de la Ilustracion al Liberalismo.

The Glorious Revolution was a decisive moment in England''s history; an invading Dutch army forced James II to flee to France, and his son-in-law and daughter, William and Mary, were crowned as joint sovereigns. The wider consequences were no less startling: bloody war in Ireland, Union with Scotland, Jacobite intrigue, deep involvement in two European wars, Britain''s emergence as a great power, a financial revolution, greater religious toleration, a riven church and a startling growth of parliamentary government.Such changes were only a part of the transformation of English society of the time. An enriching torrent of new ideas from the likes of Newton, Defoe, and Addison, spread through newspapers, periodicals, and coffee-houses, provided new views and values that some embraced and others loathed. England''s horizions were also growing, especially in the Caribbean and American colonies, For many however, the benefits were uncertain: the slave trade flourished, inequality widened, and the poor and ''disorderly'' were increasingly subject to strictures and statutes. If it was an age of prospects it was also one of anxieties.

One of the greatest figures of his age, Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-59) was widely admired throughout his life for his prose, poetry, political acumen and oratorical skills.Among the most successful and enthralling histories ever written, his History of England won instantaneous success following the publication of its first volumes in 1849, and was rapidly translated into most European languages. Beginning with the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and concluding at the end of the reign of William III in 1702, it illuminates a time of deep struggle throughout Britain and Ireland in vivid and compelling prose.But while Macaulay offers a gripping narrative, and draws on a wide range of sources including historical accounts and creative literature, his enduring success also owes a great deal to his astonishing ability to grasp, and explain, the political reality that has always underpinned social change.

The Later Tudors is an authoritative and comprehensive study of England between the accession of Edward VI and the death of Elizabeth I--a turbulent period of conflict amongst European nations, and between warring Catholics and Protestants. These internal and external struggles created anxiety in England, but by the end of Elizabeth''s reign the nation had achieved a remarkable sense of political and religious identity.Penry Williams combines the political, religious and economic history of the nation with a broader analysis of English society, family relations, and culture, in order to explain the workings and development of the English state. The result is an incisive and wide-ranging analysis that culminates in an assessment of England''s part in the shaping of the New World.

In this, the first of two self-standing volumes bringing The New Oxford History of England up to the present, Brian Harrison begins in 1951 with much of the empire intact and Britain enjoying high prestige in Europe. The United Kingdom could still then claim to be a great power whose welfare state exemplified compromise between Soviet planning and the USA''s free market. When the volume ends in 1970, no such claims carried conviction. The empire had gone, central planning was in trouble, and even the British political system had become controversial.In an unusually wide-ranging, yet impressively detailed volume, Harrison approaches the period from unfamiliar directions. He explains how British politicians in the 1950s and 1960s responded to this transition by pursuing successive roles for Britain: worldwide as champion of freedom, and in Europe as exemplar of parliamentary government, the multi-racial society, and economic planning. His main focus, though, rests not on the politicians but on the decisions the British people made largely for themselves: on their environment, social structure and attitudes, race relations, family patterns, economic framework, and cultural opportunities. By 1970 the consumer society had supplanted postwar austerity, the socialist vision was fading, and ''the sixties'' (the theme of his penultimate chapter) had introduced new and even exotic themes and values. Having lost an empire, Britain was still resourcefully seeking a role: it had yet to find it.

Warfare is a major feature of the history of the middle ages, but its study has often been the province of amateurs; only recently have the technical details of warfare and its organisation been subject to proper scholarly investigation. Professor Verbruggens major work, outstanding in its field, applies rigorous standards in analysing often very obscure surviving evidence, and reaches conclusions very different from earlier generations of military historians.He begins by analysing the sources for our knowledge of the military history of the period, assessing their reliability: some chroniclers exaggerate, others are careful observers or have access to official records. There follows an examination of the constituent parts of the medieval army, knights and footsoldiers, equipment and terms of service, behaviour on the field, and psychology, before the problematic question of medieval tactics is addressed through analysis of accounts of a series of major battles. Strategy is discussed in the context of these battles: whether to seek battle, fight a defensive war, or attempt a war of conquest.Originally published in Dutch in 1954, now translated and updated.
