(P/B) COMMON SENSE
Εκδότης: PENGUIN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-1662
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) RIGHTS OF MAN, COMMON SENSE
AND OTHER POLITICAL WRITINGS
Εκδότης: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3145-0722
"An army of principles will penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot... it will march on the horizon of the world and it will conquer". Thomas Paine was the first international revolutionary. His Common Sense (1776) was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution; his Rights of Man (1791-2) was the most famous defence of the French Revolution and sent out a clarion call for revolution throughout the world.

(P/B) RIGHTS OF MAN
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0242

(P/B) COMMON SENSE
AND OTHER WRITINGS
Εκδότης: W.W. NORTON & COMPANY Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3115-0266
Thomas Paine often declared himself a citizen of the world. This Norton Critical Edition presents Paine and his writing within the transatlantic and global context of the revolutionary ideas and actions of his time. Thomas Paine's loyalties were with universal and self-evident principles rather than with a particular group or nation, and it is this dimension that informed his most important works. This Norton Critical Edition shows how Paine's fury at the British Empire, including its injustices to South Asians and Africans, shaped his fir... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |
