Fighting for a living
The military, in one form or another, are always part of the picture. This unique and compelling study investigates the circumstances that have produced starkly different systems of recruiting and employing soldiers in different parts of the globe over the last 500 years, on the basis of case studies from Europe, Africa, America, the Middle East and Asia. The authors, including Robert Johnson, Frank Tallett and Gilles Weinstein, conduct an international comparison of military service and warfare as forms of labour, and the soldiers as workers. This is the first study to undertake a systematic comparative analysis of military labour, addressing two distinct, and normally quite separate, communities: labour historians and military historians.
Pan Tadeusz (Pan Thaddeus. Polish Classics)
Historical prose translation of the famous Polish verse epic. In the book, Tadeusz tells the story of two feuding noble families; it takes place in a fictional idyllic village, in 1811 and 1812, after the division of Poland-Lithuania between Russia, Prussia, and Austria. --- "No European nation of our day has such an epic as Pan Tadeusz. In it Don Quixote has been fused with the Iliad. ... Pan Tadeusz is a true epic. No more can be said or need be said." (Zygmunt Krasinski) --- "No play of Shakespeare, no long poem of Milton or Wordsworth or Tennyson, is so well known or so well beloved by the English people as is Pan Tadeusz by the Poles. To find a work equally well known one might turn to Defoe's prosaic tale of adventure, Robinson Crusoe; to find a work so beloved would be hardly possible." (George Rapall Noyes)
Pan Tadeusz
Tadeusz Soplica is a young nobleman who returns to his family estate after completing his studies. As he reconnects with his homeland, Tadeusz becomes enamored with Zosia Horeszko, the daughter of a rival family, despite the longstanding feud between their households. Within the framework of this romantic storyline, Mickiewicz delves into the complex political and social dynamics of the era. He depicts the tensions between the Polish nobility and the occupying Russian authorities, as well as the internal conflicts among the noble families themselves. Through vivid description and engaging dialogue, Mickiewicz showcases the customs, traditions, and aspirations of the Polish gentry, making for a rich portrayal of Polish society during this turbulent time. Pan Tadeusz has become a cherished masterpiece of Polish literature and a symbol of national identity. It was included in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme in 2014. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
