Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: NEW. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the history and ideas of a grand yet ill-fated Scottish venture, the Darien scheme. Set against the backdrop of 17th-century Spain, where religious intolerance and political tyranny ran rampant, this historical account meticulously chronicles the rise and fall of the ambitious plan to establish a Scottish colony on the Isthmus of Panama. The author delves into the motivations and experiences of the scheme's mastermind, William Paterson, and his unwavering belief in the project's potential to revitalize Scotland's economy and global standing. Through meticulously researched documents and firsthand accounts, the book sheds light on the complex interplay of national pride, economic ambition, and international rivalry that shaped the Darien adventure. Thematic depth is woven throughout the narrative, exploring the clash between religious persecution and the pursuit of prosperity, the complexities of identity and belonging in a rapidly changing world, and the enduring human capacity for hope and perseverance amidst adversity. This book offers a captivating and thought-provoking exploration of a pivotal chapter in Scottish history, revealing the indomitable spirit of its people and the profound impact of their aspirations on the global stage.
