Innerhalb weniger Wochen mit immer neuen Erscheinungen entwickelte sich ein Medien- und Massenereignis ...
TransArea
Ottmar Ette’s TransArea proceeds from the thesis that globalization is not a recent phenomenon, but rather, a process of long duration that may be divided into four main phases of accelerated globalization. These phases connect our present, across the world’s widely divergent modern eras, to the period of early modern history.

There is no substitute for the knowledge of literature: it is the knowledge of life, from life. This English translation will be of great...
