revolutionary spring christopher clark

Some rulers gave up at once, others fought bitterly, but everywhere new politicians, beliefs and expectations surged forward. The role of women in society, the end of slavery, the right to work, national independence and the emancipation of the Jews all became live issues. Clark conjures up both this ferment of new ideas and then the increasingly ruthless and effective series of counter-attacks launched by regimes who still turned out to have many cards to play. But even in defeat, exiles spread the ideas of 1848 around the world and - for better and sometimes much worse - a new and very different Europe emerged from the wreckage.

Winner of the Wolfson History Prize, Christopher Clark s Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1947 is a compelling account of a country that played a pivotal role in Europe s fortunes and fundamentally shaped our world. Prussia began as a medieval backwater, but transformed itself into a major European power and the force behind the creation of the German empire, until it was finally abolished by the Allies after the Second World War. With great flair and authority, Christopher Clark describes Prussia s great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built. Fascinating ... masterly ... littered with intriguing detail and wry observation Richard Overy, Daily Telegraph A terrific book ... the definitive history of this much-maligned state Daily Telegraph Books of the Year You couldn t have the triumph and the tragedy of Prussia better told Observer A magisterial history of Europe s only extinct power Financial Times Exemplary ... an illuminating, profoundly satisfying work of history The New York Times Christopher Clark is a lecturer in Modern European History at St Catharine s College, University of Cambridge. He is also the author of Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Life in Power.

An intellectual tour de force: the major essays of the esteemed author of international bestseller The Sleepwalkers Christopher Clark s The Sleepwalkers has become one of the most influential history books of our century: a remarkable rethinking of the origins of the First World War, which has had a huge impact on how we see both the past and the present. For the many readers who found the narrative voice, craftsmanship and originality of Clark s writing so compelling, Prisoners of Time will be a book filled with surprises and enjoyment. Bringing together many of Clark s major essays, Prisoners of Time raises a host of questions about how we think about the past, and both the value and pitfalls of history as a discipline. The book includes brilliant writing on German subjects: from assessments of Kaiser Wilhelm and Bismarck to the painful story of General von Blaskowitz, a traditional Prussian military man who accommodated himself to the horrors of the Third Reich. There is a fascinating essay on attempts to convert Prussian Jews to Christianity, and insights into everything from Brexit to the significance of battles. Perhaps the most important piece in the book is The Dream of Nebuchadnezzar , a virtuoso meditation on the nature of political power down the ages, which will become essential reading for anyone drawn to the meaning of history.

A remarkable micro-history from the author of The Sleepwalkers and Revolutionary SpringNow part of the Russian Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad, the former Prussian and German port of Königsberg has always been a somewhat sleepy place, doomed to be famous for having once been the residence of Immanuel Kant. But in the late 1830s, just for a short while, it became famous for all the wrong reasons. Christopher Clark’s brilliant new book is the result of many years of fascination with this strange case.Sensational accusations were bandied about, implying that beneath the town’s somnolent surface there were dark erotic currents and wrenching betrayals of trust. For the Prussian authorities this was just the sort of moral collapse they feared most. In the aftermath of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, which had unsettled a generation, every lapse could be seen as the harbinger of new storms.A Scandal in Königsberg beautifully brings to life a time and a place that we would now situate in the tranquil ‘Biedermeier’ years between the seismic upheavals of the 1810s and 1840s. But there is a timeless quality to this small vortex of turbulence, in which spiritual hunger, vanity, professional rivalry, sexual incontinence, naivety and sheer human waywardness threatened to tear a city apart.

A sweeping history of Athens, telling the three-thousand-year story of the birthplace of Western civilization, from Runciman Award winner Bruce Clark A stunning retrospect and beautifully written overview of one of the world s greatest cities Paul Cartledge Courageously grand in scale yet sensitive to the details that make Athens extraordinary history come alive Sofka Zinovieff Bruce Clark brings an eye for the quirky, human detail, a pithy turn of phrase, and an affection for his subject honed over many decades Roderick Beaton Bruce Clark s enchantingly readable history revealed how little I knew Literary ReviewDominated by the pillars and pediments of the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom, the ancient Greek city of Athens is for many synonymous with civilization itself.Athens: City of Wisdom tells the tale of a city that occupies a unique place in the cultural memory of the West. Each of the book s twenty-one chapters focuses on a critical moment in the city s long history, from the reforms of the lawmaker Solon in the sixth century BCE to the travails of early twenty-first-century Athens, as a rapidly expanding city struggles with the legacy of a global economic crisis. Bruce Clark has a rich and revealing sequence of stories to tell ⠓ not only of the familiar golden age of Classical Athens, of the removal from the Acropolis of the Parthenon marbles by agents of the 7th Earl of Elgin in the early nineteenth century, or of the holding of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896; but also of the less fêted later years of antiquity, when St Paul preached on the Areopagus and neo Platonists refounded the Academy that Sulla s legions had desecrated. He also delves into Athens forgotten medieval centuries, unearthing jewels gleaming in the Byzantine twilight, and tales of Christian fortitude and erratic Turkish governance from the four centuries of Ottoman rule that followed.Few places have enjoyed a history so rich in artistic creativity and the making of ideas as Athens; or one so curiously patterned by alternating cycles of turbulence and quietness. Writing with scholarly rigour and undisguised affection, Bruce Clark brings three thousand years of Athenian history vividly to life.

When barefoot running guru Christopher McDougall takes in a neglected donkey, his aim is to get Sherman back to reasonable health. But Sherman is ill-tempered, obstinate and uncooperative - and it s clear his poor treatment has made him deeply fearful of humans. Christopher knows that donkeys need a purpose - they are working, pack animals - and so when he learns of the sport of Burro Racing or running with donkeys, he sets out to give Sherman something worth living for.With the aid of Christopher s menagerie on his farm in rural Pennsylvania, his wife Mika and their friends and neighbours including the local Amish population, Sherman begins to build trust in Christopher. To give him a purpose, they start to run together. But what Sherman gains in confidence and meaning is something we all need: a connection with nature, the outdoors, with movement. And as Christopher learns, the side benefits of exercise and animal contact are surprising, helping with mental and physical health in unexpected ways.

The godfather of British performance poetry - Daily TelegraphThe Luckiest Guy Alive is the first new book of poetry from Dr John Cooper Clarke for several decades â “ and a brilliant, scabrous, hilarious collection from one of our most beloved and influential writers and performers. From the â ˜Attack of the Fifty Foot Womanâ ™ to a hymn to the seductive properties of the pie â “ by way of hand-grenade haikus, machine-gun ballads and a meditation on the loss of Bonoâ ™s leather pants â “ The Luckiest Guy Alive collects stunning set pieces and tried-and-tested audience favourites to show Cooper Clarke still effortlessly at the top of his game. Cooper Clarkeâ ™s status as the â ˜Emperor of Punk Poetryâ ™ is certainly confirmed here, but so is his reputation as a brilliant versifier, a poet of vicious wit and a razor-sharp social satirist. Effortlessly immediate and contemporary, full of hard-won wisdom and expert blindsidings, itâ ™s easy to see why the good Doctor has continued to inspire several new generations of performers from Alex Turner to Plan B: The Luckiest Guy Alive shows one of the most compelling poets of the age on truly exceptional form. John Cooper Clarke is one of Britainâ ™s outstanding poets. His anarchic punk poetry has thrilled people for decades . . . long may his slender frame and spiky top produce words and deeds that keep us on our toes and alive to the wonders of the world. â “ Sir Paul McCartney

How objects associated with the American, French, and Haitian revolutions drew diverse people throughout the Atlantic world into debates over revolutionary ideals  ⠜By excavating the power of material objects and visual images to express the fervor and fear of the revolutionary era, Ashli White brings us closer to more fully embodied, more fully human, figures.⠝⠔Richard Rabinowitz, author of Objects of Love and Regret: A Brooklyn Story  ⠜In this important, innovative book, Ashli White moves nimbly between North America, Europe, and the Caribbean to capture the richness and complexity of material culture in the Age of Revolutions.⠝⠔Michael Kwass, Johns Hopkins University  Historian Ashli White explores the circulation of material culture during the American, French, and Haitian revolutions, arguing that in the late eighteenth century, radical ideals were contested through objects as well as in texts. She considers how revolutionary things, as they moved throughout the Atlantic, brought people into contact with these transformative political movements in visceral, multiple, and provocative ways.  Focusing on a range of objects⠔ceramics and furniture, garments and accessories, prints, maps, and public amusements⠔White shows how material culture held political meaning for diverse populations. Enslaved and free, women and men, poor and elite⠔all turned to things as a means to realize their varied and sometimes competing visions of revolutionary change.

In the ride-along tradition of Sarah Vowell, Tony Horwitz and Bill Bryson, this insightful history revisits the pivotal figures and key turning points of the American Revolutionary War. Revolutionary Roads takes readers on a time-traveling adventure through the crucial places American independence was won and might have been lost. You’ll ride shotgun with Bob Thompson as he puts more than 20,000 miles on his car, not to mention his legs; walks history-shaping battlefields from Georgia to Quebec; and hangs out with passionate lovers of revolutionary history whose vivid storytelling and deep knowledge of their subject enrich his own. Braiding these elements together into a wonderfully entertaining whole – and with a reporter’s abiding concern for getting the story straight – he has written an American Revolution book like no other. The Revolutionary War is one of the greatest stories in all history, an eight-year epic filled with self-sacrificing heroes, self-interested villains, and, more interestingly, all the shades of complex humanity in between. It boasts large-scale gambles that sometimes paid off but usually didn’t, as well as countless tiny, fraught tipping points like a misunderstood order in a South Carolina cow pasture that could have altered the course of the war. The drama is magnified when you consider what was at stake: the fate of a social and political experiment that would transform the world. Yet we don’t know this story as well as we should, or how easily the ending could have changed.

A New York Review Books Original Victor Serge is one of the great men of the 20th century —and one of its great writers too. He was an anarchist, an agitator, a revolutionary, an exile, a historian of his times, as well as a brilliant novelist, and in Memoirs of a Revolutionary he devotes all his passion and genius to describing this extraordinary—and exemplary—career. Serge tells of his upbringing among exiles and conspirators, of his involvement with the notorious Bonnot Gang and his years in prison, of his role in the Russian Revolution, and of the Revolution’s collapse into despotism and terror. Expelled from the Soviet Union, Serge went to Paris, where he evaded the KGB and the Nazis before fleeing to Mexico. Memoirs of a Revolutionary recounts a thrilling life on the front lines of history and includes vivid portraits not only of Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin but of countless other figures who struggled to remake the world. Peter Sedgwick’s fine translation of Memoirs of a Revolutionary was abridged when first published in 1963. This is the first edition in English to present the entirety of Serge’s book.

In Everyday Revolutionary, pastor and bible teacher J.D. Greear draws on insights from the book of Daniel to show how followers of Jesus are called to live a revolutionary life that often runs counter to the ways of the world. He reveals how disciples of Jesus are instructed to embody certain core identities and how those identities lead to them exhibiting five core practices in their everyday lives. These identities and practices—when truly embodied in this way—enable every follower of Jesus to live the life that he desired them to lead in spite of their circumstances or culture in which they live.Employing solid biblical truth, compelling stories, and a prophetic voice, J.D. reveals the roles and responsibilities that can make every person a revolutionary disciple—a faithful follower of Jesus in a hostile culture. Participants will discover how to put these key practices into action:How to fulfill the creative purpose for which they were madeHow to pursue excellence in whatever they endeavor to doHow to reflect holiness with the little things in a critical worldHow to display reconciliation with equity and fairnessHow to advance God s mission in a global and technological ageEveryday Revolutionary provides the perspective and encouragement that every follower of Christ needs to impact every area of their lives. Whether they are age-old believers or just getting started in the faith—or struggling with a situation or just anxious about one that is coming—this modern way of taking the ancient path outlined in the book of Daniel will enliven all of their days.Watch on any device!Streaming video access included.

Violence has marked relations between blacks and whites in America for nearly four hundred years. In The Lineaments of Wrath, James W. Clarke draws upon behavioral science theory and primary historical evidence to examine and explain its causes and enduring consequences.Beginning with slavery and concluding with the present, Clarke describes how the combined effects of state-sanctioned mob violence and the discriminatory administration of race-blind criminal and contract labor laws terrorized and immobilized the black population in the post-emancipation South. In this fashion an agricultural system, based on debt peonage and convict labor, quickly replaced slavery and remained the back-bone of the region s economy well into the twentieth century.Quoting the actual words of victims and witnessesâ ”from former slaves to gangsta rappersâ ”Clarke documents the erosion of black confidence in American criminal justice. In so doing, he also traces the evolution, across many generations, of a black subculture of violence, in which disputes are settled personally, and without recourse to the legal system. That subculture, the author concludes, accounts for historically high rates of black-on-black violence which now threatens to destroy the black inner city from within. The Lineaments of Wrath puts America s race issues into a completely original historical perspective. Those in the fields of political science, sociology, history, psychology, public policy, race relations, and law will find Clarke s work of profound importance.

NOMINATED FOR THE JAZZ JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 WINNER OF THE PRESTO JAZZ BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020An articulate, scrupulously researched account based on first-hand information, this book presents Brubeck s contribution to music with the critical insight that it deserves - ***** BBC Music Magazine This is the writing about jazz that we ve been waiting for - Mike WestbrookThe sheer descriptive verve, page after page, made me want to listen to every single musical example cited. A major achievement - Stephen Hough Definitive . . . remarkable. Clark writes intelligently and joyously. - MojoIn 2003, music journalist Philip Clark was granted unparalleled access to jazz legend Dave Brubeck. Over the course of ten days, he shadowed the Dave Brubeck Quartet during their extended British tour, recording an epic interview with the bandleader. Brubeck opened up as never before, disclosing his unique approach to jazz; the heady days of his classic quartet in the 1950s-60s; hanging out with Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis; and the many controversies that had dogged his 66-year-long career.Alongside beloved figures like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, Brubeck s music has achieved name recognition beyond jazz. But finding a convincing fit for Brubeck s legacy, one that reconciles his mass popularity with his advanced musical technique, has proved largely elusive. In Dave Brubeck: A Life in Time, Clark provides us with a thoughtful, thorough, and long-overdue biography of an extraordinary man whose influence continues to inform and inspire musicians today.Structured around Clark s extended interview and intensive new research, this book tells one of the last untold stories of jazz, unearthing the secret history of Take Five and many hitherto unknown aspects of Brubeck s early career - and about his creative relationship with his star saxophonist Paul Desmond. Woven throughout are cameo appearances from a host of unlikely figures from Sting, Ray Manzarek of The Doors, and Keith Emerson, to John Cage, Leonard Bernstein, Harry Partch, and Edgard Varèse. Each chapter explores a different theme or aspect of Brubeck s life and music, illuminating the core of his artistry and genius.

Your book is the really good book. Just one that Roger Butler would have wanted - Sir Ian McKellen Absorbing and often very moving - Peter Parker, Spectator Sir, we are homosexuals . . . So began the letter penned by Roger Butler and sent to several British newspaper editors - some of whom were so shocked they thought it was a hoax - in June 1960. Writing such a letter seven years before the decriminalisation of homosexuality was a radical and dangerous move. It was a risk that set a major milestone in the fight for gay rights - one that has been almost entirely forgotten.This is the story of the first man to come out voluntarily, using his own name, to the entire British public, a decade before activists started petitioning gay people everywhere to come out proud . Taking us through a criminalised underworld of gay pubs, parties and activist meetings, The Light of Day charts how Roger helped bring about the legalisation of homosexuality, but soon found himself marginalised from the movement he kickstarted after losing his sight in his early 30s.Enter Christopher - a student asked to visit and read to an old, blind man at the beginning of a new century. As their intergenerational friendship bloomed, Roger came to trust Christopher with his most precious possession: memoirs of his revolutionary past, locked away in his home. After Roger s death, Christopher opened a series of unsent letters, left in a pink folder, addressed to him. They contained Roger s final wish, for Christopher finally to bring his remarkable, hidden story into the light of day. Remarkable . . . a splendidly sprawling part biography, part autobiography, part history and part social commentary . . . the result, a true account, benefits greatly from a lightness, a candour untethered to any agenda or argument - Times Literary Supplement Faithfully and beautifully told - Mail on Sunday

A book that filled me from first to last with a rapture as transcendent and thrilling as that which spring yearly provides ... I absolutely adored it! STEPHEN FRY As dynamic and ebullient as the season it celebrates ... There is no one I d rather spring into spring with than Simon Barnes KATE HUMBLE An endlessly illuminating love letter to the most beguiling of the seasons LEE SCHOFIELD, author of the award-winning Wild FellSpring is the time of renewal and rebirth, a celebration of the resilience of life. As the year turns, animals and plants that have struggled to survive the winter find new hope and create the next generation. The season has inspired some of humanityâ ™s greatest art and many of its most significant religious festivals. Now, in Spring is the Only Season, Simon Barnes provides a fresh and compelling look at this period of the year. He explains the science of the seasons, which are caused by the planetâ ™s 23.5 degree tilt; he also highlights the music, the paintings and the poetry that have tried to capture it. Packed with fascinating insights, remarkable facts and key stories, the book is a vivid and multi-faceted portrait of spring.However, while the Earth will continue to spin on its tilting axis, he reveals how our impact on the planet is beginning to destroy the natural course of the seasons, and that elements of the beloved spring â “ from migrating birds to emerging butterflies â “ are endangered by climate change. But itâ ™s not too late. Not yet. We can still make a difference and so continue to enjoy the pleasures of spring.

Although Trotsky was dramatically assassinated just over eighty years ago, he remains a controversial figure. He has had many biographers over the decades - ranging from the overly-sympathetic, to the extremely-hostile. Robert Service, his most recent biographer, expressed the hope that his book would â ˜finish offâ ™ Trotsky - a job he believed the ice-axe had failed to do in 1940!This biography, as expected, deals with those aspects for which Trotsky is noted: his passionate and fiery oratory which captivated and inspired huge crowds; organising the Bolshevik Revolution of November 1917; masterminding the creation of the Red Army and ensuring its victory during the Civil War; becoming the most determined opponent of Stalinâ ™s creation of a monolithic party and state; being a Marxist theoretician of socialist revolution and combatting fascism; and, of course, being the originator of the very specific brand of revolutionary socialism that, as early as 1906, became known as Trotskyism. However, this biography also explores other aspects of Trotskyâ ™s life which are not so well-known. In particular, from a very early age, his love of writing: the world of books and publishing became his first passion; it remained his first love and, if revolutionary politics had not taken over, his life would have been a very literary one. Immediately after the November Revolution, he hoped to return to his literary work, believing his main practical work as a revolutionary was over. His writings on art and literature, when compared to the stultifying strictures of the â ˜Socialist Realismâ ™ associated with Stalinism, are remarkably sympathetic and open; while he also wrote many perceptive articles as a war correspondent, covering both the Balkan Wars and the early stages of the First World War. Other aspects covered by this biography concern his family life, and his relationships with his children. Also explored is his love-life - while it is known he had a brief affair with the Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo, there are also suggestions he may have had other affairs. Whatever the truth of such allegations, he certainly maintained a passionate relationship with his long-term companion, Natalya Sedova; and readers should be aware that one proof of that, provided towards the end of this book, contains very explicit language.

A fiery, intersectional guide for activists and witches alike, Revolutionary Witchcraft is an empowered introduction to the history and practice of politically-motivated magic. From the politically charged origins of the word witch to the present-day magical resistance, this bold handbook explores the role of witchcraft in our modern world. Author, activist, and practicing witch Sarah Lyons takes readers on a journey through a leftist history of magic -- from the witch hunts of early modern England, through the Salem Witch Trials, and up to our present moment. Pairing mystical acts, including sigil magic and soul flight, with core organizing tactics, like power mapping and protests, Revolutionary Witchcraft offers a blueprint for building a politically grounded magical praxis. From social justice to environmental activism, this radical re imagining of political activism addresses today s most pressing problems with empowering, inclusive rituals and magical actions. Each chapter introduces a key concept, like dreaming big, experiencing magical initiation, and joining the revolution, supported by a surprising historical case study on the power of mystical action. Full of actionable ideas for magical organising, and an appendix packed with customised spells, Revolutionary Witchcraft is the perfect companion for the magical uprising.

Audiokniha: Sci-fi román, který navždy změnil podobu žánru Předloha kultovního filmu Stanleyho Kubricka Audioknižní operní opus, který posouvá hranice mluveného slova V měsíčním kráteru Tycho je nalezen záhadný objekt: černý monolit, který vysílá pravidelný elektromagnetický signál na jeden ze Saturnových měsíců. Vůbec poprvé je proto hluboko do Sluneční soustavy vypravena lidská posádka. Ještě než dosáhne cíle, objeví se podivné technické obtíže, které postupně narůstají do děsivých rozměrů. Kapitán lodi David Bowman musí čelit selhávajícímu lodnímu systému, jež mění vědeckou misi v boj o život. Černý mimozemský kvádr na Japetu mezitím mlčí a čeká. Existuje odpověď na věčnou otázku o původu člověka a jeho místě ve vesmíru? Cesta za limity lidské zkušenosti, za hranice prostoru a času, posouvá hranice mluveného slova, hudby a zvuku. Arthur C. Clarke (1917–2008) Britský vynálezce, společně s Robertem Heinleinem a Isaacem Asimovem patřil do Velké trojky žánru science fiction. Za druhé světové války sloužil jako radiový instruktor, poté vystudoval matematiku a fyziku na King s College v Londýně. Žánru sci-fi se věnoval jako spisovatel od roku 1946. Z jeho raných děl jsou nejznámější romány Konec dětství a Město a hvězdy, z pozdějších pak Měsíční prach či žánrovými cenami ověnčené Setkání s Rámou a Rajské fontány. Román 2001: Vesmírná odysea vznikal souběžně se slavným stejnojmenným snímkem Stanleyho Kubricka. V následujících letech se k němu Clarke vrátil ve třech pokračováních. Vedle literární tvorby proslul jako vynálezce geostacionární telekomunikační družice. S myšlenkou satelitu zavěšeného na pevném místě na obloze přišel už v roce 1945, dlouho před vypuštěním první družice do vesmíru. Dvakrát byl předsedou Britské Interplanetární Společnosti, byl nominován na Nobelovu cenu míru a za své zásluhy získal šlechtický titul. Richard Honzovič (1934–2005) Legendární hlasatel, moderátor a dabér. Už jako malý chtěl pracovat v médiích a tak po maturitě v roce 1952 nastoupil do Československého rozhlasu. Chvíli poté působil i jako hlasatel zpráv v Československé televizi. Jelikož se v roce 1968 podílel na protiokupačním vysílání, nesměl na obrazovku a byl propuštěn. Pracoval pro Krátký film Praha a namlouval komentáře Československého filmového týdeníku a mnoha technických a přírodopisných dokumentů. Uváděl pořad Objektiv, jeho hlas se objevil ve Filmopolisu a České sodě. V soutěži TýTý dvakrát obsadil třetí místo. Pro vydavatelství Tympanum načetl audioknihy Solaris a oba díly Jistě pane ministře. Nahrávka vznikla podle knihy Arthura C. Clarka 2001: Vesmírná odysea vydané nakladatelstvím Odeon v roce 1982.
