Roller-Coaster - Ian Kershaw - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Roller-Coaster - Ian Kershaw - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE LIONEL GELBER PRIZE 2020''Brilliant ... a historical masterpiece'' The Times Literary Supplement From one of Britain''s most distinguished historians and the bestselling author of Hitler , this is the definitive history of a divided Europe, from the aftermath of the Second World War to the present. After the overwhelming horrors of the first half of the 20th century, described by Ian Kershaw in his previous book as having gone ''to Hell and back'', the years from 1950 to 2017 brought peace and relative prosperity to most of Europe. Enormous economic improvements transformed the continent. The catastrophic era of the world wars receded into an ever more distant past, though its long shadow continued to shape mentalities. Europe was now a divided continent, living under the nuclear threat in a period intermittently fraught with anxiety. Europeans experienced a ''roller-coaster ride'', both in the sense that they were flung through a series of events which threatened disaster, but also in that they were no longer in charge of their own destinies: for much of the period the USA and USSR effectively reduced Europeans to helpless figures whose fates were dictated to them by the Cold War. There were striking successes - the Soviet bloc melted away, dictatorships vanished and Germany was successfully reunited. But accelerating globalization brought new fragilities. The impact of interlocking crises after 2008 was the clearest warning to Europeans that there was no guarantee of peace and stability.In this remarkable book, Ian Kershaw has created a grand panorama of the world we live in and where it came from. Drawing on examples from all across the continent, Roller-Coaster will make us all rethink Europe and what it means to be European.

The Dhammapada - - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Dhammapada - - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Dhammapada is a collection of aphorisms that illustrate the moral teachings of Buddha - the spiritual path to the supreme Truth. Probably compiled in the third century BCE, the verses are arranged according to theme, covering ideas such as self-possession, good and evil, watchfulness and endurance. Together they describe how an individual can attain the enlightenment of Nirvana, the supreme goal of Buddhism. The road to Nirvana, as illustrated in The Dhammapada, is narrow and difficult to negotiate, but the reward of eternal life gives hope and determination to the traveller.

Globish - Robert Mccrum - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Go anywhere in the world today and you''ll see or hear English in some form. It may not necessarily be the Queen''s English that you''re hearing, but it is, nevertheless, a form of universally recognised English - it is Globish . In his wonderfully witty and informative new book, Robert McCrum explores the curious history, vivacity and endurance of English and ponders why, while British and American empires have waxed and waned, the English language, freer from its moorings like never before, has quietly taken over the world.

The Persian Expedition - Xenophon - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In The Persian Expedition, Xenophon, a young Athenian noble who sought his destiny abroad, provides an enthralling eyewitness account of the attempt by a Greek mercenary army - the Ten Thousand - to help Prince Cyrus overthrow his brother and take the Persian throne.

In this outstanding description of endurance and individual bravery, Xenophon, one of those chosen to lead the retreating army, provides a vivid narrative of the campaign and its aftermath, and his account remains one of the best pictures we have of Greeks confronting a ''barbarian'' world.
