Letters of Jacob Burckhardt

Viac o knihe

From a publishing house dedicated to promoting conservative libertarianism, comes a reprint of a collection of correspondence by Swiss art historian Jacob Burckhardt (1818-1897), a man "viscerally opposed to mass suffrage, modern public education, women in scholarship, and public health insurance." These letters have been selected to give a view of Burckhardt's life, the evolution of his thinking, and his chief concerns. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
