Descirption: 'Little by little, Elsa leaked out of her enclosure, strayed out into every corner of the house . . . In my bed at night, she switched places with me, she enjoying the softness of my bed, and I finding myself cramped up in her airless niche.' This extraordinary novel is seen through the eyes of Johannes. An avid member of the Hitler Youth in the 1940s, he discovers his parents are hiding a Jewish girl called Elsa behind a false wall in their large house in Vienna. His initial horror turns to interest, then love and obsession. After the disappearance of his parents, Johannes finds he is the only one aware of Elsa's existence in the house, the only one responsible for her survival. Both manipulating and manipulated, Johannes dreads the end of the war: with it will come the prospect of losing Elsa and their relationship, which ranges through passion and obsession, dependence and indifference, love and hate. This gripping, masterful work examines truth and lies at both political...

Escape from Rome The Failure of Empire by Walter Scheidel
Type : epub |
Size : 5.49 MB |
English |
Descirption: The gripping story of how the end of the Roman Empire was the beginning of the modern world
The fall of the Roman Empire has long been considered one of the greatest disasters in history. But in this groundbreaking book, Walter Scheidel argues that Rome's dramatic collapse was actually the best thing that ever happened, clearing the path for Europe's economic rise and the creation of the modern age. Ranging across the entire premodern world, Escape from Rome offers new answers to some of the biggest questions in history: Why did the Roman Empire appear? Why did nothing like it ever return to Europe? And, above all, why did Europeans come to dominate the world? In an absorbing narrative that begins with ancient Rome but stretches far beyond it, from Byzantium to China and from Genghis Khan to Napoleon, Scheidel sho how the demise of Rome and the enduring failure of empire-building on European soil ensured competitive fragmentation between and within states. This rich diversity encouraged political, economic, scientific, and technological breakthroughs that allowed Europe to surge ahead while other parts of the world lagged behind, burdened as they were by traditional empires and predatory regimes that lived by conquest. It wasn't until Europe "escaped" from Rome that it launched an economic transformation that changed the continent and ultimately the world. What has the Roman Empire ever done for us? Fall and go away. **
Review
"A bold, provocative, and brilliant book in which Walter Scheidel does not just ask big questions―but sets out to answer them too. And better still, it's immensely enjoyable to read as well." ―Peter Frankopan, author of *The Silk Roads: A New History of the World*
"Astonishingly learned, hugely ambitious, and deeply thoughtful, the indefatigable Walter Scheidel has written another innovative and provocative book that will turn global history upside down." ―Joel Mokyr, author of *A Culture of Growth: The Origins of the Modern Economy*
"If a new Roman Empire had appeared in medieval Europe, it would have aborted modernity and everything would be different today! This is the remarkable, but tightly argued, conclusion of Walter Scheidel's virtuoso exploration of counterfactual world histories." ―David Christian, author of *Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History*
" Escape from Rome presents a fascinating account of why modernity appeared first in western Europe―it was precisely the failure of the Roman project and not its legacy that allowed the emergence of a decentralized and competitive system that became the ultimate platform for modern economic growth. A challenging and counterintuitive hypothesis." ―Francis Fukuyama, author of <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 600">The End of History *and the Last Man*
"Lucid and provocative, this book makes an iconoclastic case for why Europe's luckiest break was losing its only internal empire. A must-read for anyone curious about the long shadow of Rome." ―Sheilagh Ogilvie, author of *The European Guilds: An Economic Analysis*
"In a masterpiece of global history spanning over two millennia, Walter Scheidel tells us why western Europe remained politically fragmented after the collapse of Rome, why the rest of the world gravitated toward empire, and why that enduring political contrast explains the origins of sustained economic growth. A fascinating book." ―Philip T. Hoffman, author of *Why Did Europe Conquer the World?*
" Escape from Rome is a brilliant and very important book by a great scholar at the top of his powers. This is a wholly convincing and innovative account, logically driven and based on stunning scholarship. It will become a classic." ―John A. Hall, coauthor of *The Paradox of Vulnerability: States, Nationalism, and the Financial Crisis*
"Walter Scheidel has done more to reveal the hidden patterns of human existence than any other historian of our era. Quite simply, he has no peer. Erudite, enlightening, and wonderfully provocative, Escape from Rome is destined to become a classic." ―Amanda Foreman, author of *A World on Fire: Britain's Crucial Role in the American Civil War*
