A Wealthmanagement.com Best Business Book of 2017 An uproarious account of Mark Twain's endless attempts to strike it rich, all of which served only to empty his pockets Mark Twain's lifetime spans America's era of greatest economic growth. And Twain was an active, even giddy, participant in all the great booms and busts of his time, launching himself into one harebrained get-rich scheme after another. But far from striking it rich, the man who coined the term "Gilded Age" failed with comical regularity to join the ranks of plutocrats who made this period in America notorious for its wealth ...

Samuel Johnson: Literature, Religion and English Cultural Politics from the Restoration to Romanticism

By: D., J. C. CLARK

Price: $33.95

Publisher: Cambridge University Press : November 1994

Seller ID: 163093

ISBN-13: 9780521478854

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

This book offers an analysis of the life and thought of Samuel Johnson from a historian's viewpoint, which reverses the orthodoxy that has dominated the subject for over thirty years. J.C.D. Clark presents here a Johnson strikingly different from the apolitical, pragmatic and eccentric figure who emerges from the pages of most students of English literature. Johnson's commitments and conflicts in religion and politics are reconstructed; his role in the literary dynamics of his age is revealed against a new context for English cultural politics between the Restoration and the age of Romanticism...

Abraham Kuyper: A Pictorial Biography

By: De Bruijn, Jan

Price: $41.50

Seller ID: 183381

ISBN-13: 9780802878212

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Unprecedented photographic depiction of Abraham Kuyper's life Among historians there is little disagreement about the significance of Dutch theologian and statesman Abraham Kuyper (1837- 1920), but discussions about Kuyper have centered mostly on his worldview, with little said about his context and personal life. Jan de Bruijn's beautiful pictorial biography fills a gap in offering a full-fledged portrait of this remarkable, visionary, polemical, complex character. Nearly four hundred full-color illustrations with extended explanatory captions make up the book. Readers will see political ca...

A definitive biography of the great French essayist and thinker One of the most important writers and thinkers of the Renaissance, Michel de Montaigne (1533-92) helped invent a literary genre that seemed more modern than anything that had come before. But did he do it, as he suggests in his Essays, by retreating to his chateau and stoically detaching himself from his violent times? Philippe Desan overturns this long standing myth by showing that Montaigne was constantly connected to and concerned with realizing his political ambitions--and that the literary and philosophical character of the E...
