Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Sins of the Fathers
It is impossible to understand this epic war except in the light of recent history; it is impossible to endure its terror unless we look beyond. It is no casual and untoward event, the rash precipitation in time and space of the insane illusions of matoids and paranoiacs, the accident of industrial war fare, the catastrophe that might have been escaped. It was conceived in the very be ginnings of modernism when first the Re naissance began to supersede Mediaevalism; it grew and strengthened as the Reforma tion entered into its final form; it quickened and stirred as the revolutions of the eight eenth and nineteenth centuries shook the foundations of law and order in all Europe; it struggled for birth as industrial civiliza tion waxed fat and gross in its century of blind evolution. Medici, Borgia and Mac chiavelli, Huss and Luther and Calvin.

Excerpt from The Sins of the Fathers
"Beyond the Alps lies Italy!" Beyond The War lies The World after the War. Black and red, the holocaust of an era envelops the world; black with the heavy shadow of catastrophe, red with the flame of a penitential purgation. Black and red, the smoke-clouds of a great burning open fitfully, and only a little way, to reveal a far country, in hope rather than in reality, but it is on these poor gleams of far promise that already the eyes of men are fixed, for there alone lies the prophecy and the forecast of compensation.
The world has become a great interrogation. Why was this thing permitted and why does it endure?

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and consequences of the defining characteristics of modern Western society. The author argues that the rise of industrialism, imperialism, and a quantitative standard of value have led to a period of global instability and crisis. Drawing on historical examples ranging from ancient Greece and Rome to the early twentieth century, the author argues that these forces have eroded the pursuit of perfection and the qualitative values that once defined great civilizations. The book's insightful analysis offers a potent critique of the forces that have shaped modern society, and challenges readers to consider the fundamental values and principles that should guide us as we move forward. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
